The Caste System is a hierarchical social structure traditionally associated with Hindu society in India, dividing people into groups based on occupational roles and social status. It consists of four primary categories, known as varnas: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (traders and agriculturists), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). This system is maintained by cultural norms, religious beliefs, and social practices, leading to rigid boundaries and limited social mobility. Despite legal abolishment, the caste system's influence persists in various facets of Indian life.

The caste system used to go by what career you aspired, but now it changed to be a bit racist. Hinduism does not justify the caste system, and caste system is now illegal in india. It is more of a social/cultural thing than a religious custom.
Caste system is not an intrinsic part of Hinduism, and labelling individuals with a caste based on their profession or surname can perpetuate a system that is often discriminatory. It is best to avoid associating individuals with a particular caste without explicit information from them.
