The primary purpose of the Caste System in ancient India was to maintain social order and establish a hierarchy within society. This system classified individuals into specific groups (varnas) based on their occupation and social status—Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (merchants), and Shudras (laborers). It enforced a rigid structure where social mobility was largely restricted, and people's roles were predetermined. The Caste System was deeply intertwined with Hindu religious beliefs, influencing not only social interactions but also economic and political relationships. Despite reforms and challenges over the centuries, its legacy remains significant in contemporary Indian society.
