which belief formed the basis of the caste system in India
The caste system is a social hierarchy that has been traditionally associated with Hinduism in India. Both Hinduism and the caste system have long histories that have shaped the social structure and cultural practices of India. However, it is important to note that not all aspects of Hinduism endorse or support the caste system, and many Hindus today are working to dismantle this system of discrimination.
No, modern society has not had a system as rigid and extensive as India's caste system, which has historically dictated social status and occupations based on hereditary groupings. Such a system is considered discriminatory and has been outlawed in many countries.

it affected the caste system by bringing new content to the caste system.
Buddhism has no belief in caste system. It frankly rejected the caste system.
Yes. The system of four Varnas like Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudras was well established at the time of Mahabharata. The Karna was victim of discrimination on the ground of caste in the Mahabharata. In the Gita, Lord Krishna told that He has created four varnas on the basis of his karma. Not on the basis of birth. But the Hindus conveniently overlook the God.
This should be considered that Islam is a system or idealody based on social and financial justice and prohabits any discrimination of someone on the basis of his caste,color,financial status, or any other aspect as the Prophet Muhammad Said in his last address to the fellow Muslims that 'the white have no perference over the black and vice-versa and an Arab have no perference over the non-Arab and vice-versa. but if someone asks about caste system in Muslim society than it is not out of question,as in almost all mulim societies people roughly defferentiates themselves on the basis of their parentage,language,locality and believes but all in all their is no clear and authorized caste system in Muslim society.
