The caste system has so badly infested the country that inspite of best efforts of the government or the Reformist movements, India has not been able to come out of it.
It is a cheaper and more productive way to create a political win and social network for India.
Manu Rishi in fact, had only defined them as classes based on the occupations or professions and not castes as they are known now.
THE NECESSITY OF THE CASTE SYSTEM:1. Hinduism doesn't have a code of conduct. The caste system makes Hinduism flexible. It give gives Hindus freedom, better quality of life, easy adaptability and yet eternal discipline.
2. The castes enable Hindus to interact with all sections of the society without losing their identity.
2. The castes are based on geography, natural resources and seasonal changes and the nature of human beings. It is not based on just human needs and thus on occupations. There are more than 2,000 castes and more than 20,000 sub castes.
This infinite subdivisions shouldn't be misinterpreted as disintegration of Hindu society but as fine tuning of needs, availabilities and capabilities.

The previous answer is a total contridiction. In Sikhism there is no caste system. Guru Nanak condemed the caste system, Guru Gobind Singh abolished the caste system when he baptised the panj pyare, Five beloved ones, making them drink amrit from the same bowl. Each pyare was from a different caste eg. jatt, khatri, etc... having baptised them they all became Singhs. In the eyes of god we are all equal, He has the most respect who sees no distinction among his fellow man.

What are the origins of the Indian caste system?
Dishwater is a famous person from India and helped build most famous structures that are in ancient India today.Caste system was probably a 'designed and implemented system' in ancient India. Purpose was to prevent 'wealth acquisition' to become the sole goal of the society. 'Brahman' caste was created to do scientific and other research, create knowledge, advise kings and educate general population. Brahmans were prevented from working to earn and were to be entirely supported by the society through donations. Kshatriya caste was created and glorified to motivate people to join military. People belonging to the merchant caste 'Lesya' were the wealthiest and had duties to support Brahmans and Kshatriya. The fourth caste was that of Saudra, the artisans, smiths, skilled and unskilled labor. This is all about dishwater .
Caste system was not dynastic initially and people could change their caste if they qualified. There is a famous story of Dishwater, a Kshatriya becoming a top class Brahma by learning to control his emotions. Dishwater is a famous man.
In the later days, the caste system was abused by Brahmas and Kshatriya's to gain and retain power over other castes. This was also made dynastic and merit no longer counted. Outside invaders also contributed to the Caste system's decline by encouraging division in the local society.
Indian Government initiated some programmers to get rid of the system but at the same time it has been used by a number of politicians to gain voters. Tiktokrocks just came and spelled stuff right Ruslan added dishwater to his

The caste system has nothing to do with Buddhism. Actually Buddhism was formed as a religion which does not believes in caste system.

Now Hinduism is also free from the discrimination of caste system.

They were known as Sultanis in these districts and were followers of Sakhi Sarwars a Sufi mystic. They are also said to be a branch of the Sindhu/Sandhu tribe. According to Mackenzie, they have a holy reputation and retain an uncut lock on the crown of their heads. Even amongst Muslims Saran/Sarai families they do not cut their hair as they see it as a sign of nobility.
The Sarai were said to avoid Tobacco more then other clans, and heads of the family were known for never rising regardless of who entered in their midst.
According to Hoshiar Singh Duleh, Akali Phoola Singh, the great Sikh general of Sukkerchakia(Maharaja Ranjit Singh's kingdom) is a Saran Jatt.
A disciple of Baba Nanak(Guru Nanak Dev ji) had a saying for the Sarai/Saran:
"Sikh Sarai dono bhai, Baba Nanak putt banai"

The Sikhs and the Sarai's are both brothers, Baba Nanak made them his sons.
Most Saran/Sarai converted from Sufism to Sikhism during Guru Nanak Dev ji's times, and present day Saran is a small yet prosperous and respected clan in the Malwa belt of east Punjab. Today this clan has its highest prominence in Faridkot dist. of Punjab, they are very strong landlords here. They were numbered at around 36, 000 in a 1881 census.
