The Caste System has nothing to do with Buddhism. Actually Buddhism was formed as a religion which does not believes in caste system. Lord Buddha spread the message to not believe in caste system, rituals etc. However, If you meant Hinduism, then the Caste system is a crucial to this religion. Because Hindus believe in reincarnation, they perform their "duties" (dharma) to be good fated (karma), which gets them higher in the caste system (varna). This all really happened earlier. Now Hinduism is also free from the discrimination of caste system.

Answer:

Some people think that the caste system is a part of Hinduism, many lower cast Hindus were being treated badly, so they conveted to Buddhism!
