Caste System is used for community living and identifying various groups of populations for ease of common habits and customs in ancient India. Other wise prior to that era only 4 varnas are there based on type of work done for living. Later people started identifying themselves based on their work like farmers, pujaris,gold smiths,Barbers,warriors etc.
