A class system divides society into groups based on some method, most often income or ownership, and allows certain priviledges to the upper classes. Normally, it is possible to move between classes by marriage, education, military exploit, or other talent.

A caste system divides according to parentage and ancestry and normally strongly restricts a person from getting outside the caste, limiting where they can live and what jobs they can hold.

Well first off the caste was a system of racial class. So in politics the higher class gets to have more privileges and benefits than the lower classes or the sudras. And often times the lower classes are left voiceless when it comes to fighting for their rights and other concerns.
