Although the caste system in India has changed in historical and political upheavals, the ancient system of believing that all people are born unequal is stronger than both modern law and the Indian constitution, which prohibits caste discrimination and eliminates untouchability.
Explanation:
- The appearance of caste is related to the gradual penetration of Aryans or Indo-Europeans from the north and west into India (probably before 1500 BC).
- The settlers imposed themselves on the indigenous peoples as the ruling class and closed themselves to them in a sharply segregated social group.
- White-skinned Aryans differed from the dark-skinned natives, so probably from there the Sanskrit designation varied in color. The division of Indian society into castes begins at the time of the origin of the Vedas (from about 1500 to 500 BC) and belongs to the Brahmanical culture.
