Caste System in India is quite a vexed issue. Everybody has a claim that his caste is a superior. Warriors in ancient times were called Kshatriya's and their descendants called themselves of being belonging to the caste Rajput, Kathri or Jat. Jats are one of the main agricultural upper castes of North India and had never considered themselves as a part of the caste system (or a caste), they where rather a race (a group of tribes). Most modern historians conclude that Rajputs are the decendants of Jats (those who travelled towards Rajasthan became Rajputs by marking out their Kingdoms). However, Jats where North India's most prominent fighters and where therefore considered warriors (Kshatriya's) as per the vedic caste system.

Superiority of castes is a non-issue here. Because there is no central authority today which will define if one caste is superior over other and ofcourse the Government of India has already outlawed/banned the practice of castism. Only insane people have the time today to judge these issues....which is actually a non issue
