There is no known definite start of the Caste System in India, however there are several theories.

One theory is that the caste system is not ancient, but was started during British rule in India, between 1860 and 1920.

Another theory is that the caste system was started when the Aryans moved into the Indus Valley at around 1500 BC.

A genetic theory suggests that the caste system started about 1900 years ago, or about 1000 AD.
