(The Varna and Jati Systems)
by Terence Callaham and Roxanna Pavich
The Indian caste
system has been in use for many years. Still today the values
of the caste system are held strongly. It has kept a sense of
order, and peace among the people. There are five different
levels of the system: Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and
Harijans. Within each of these categories are the actual "castes" or
jatis within which people are born, marry, and die. They
all have their own place among each other and accept that it is the
way to keep society from disintegrating to chaos. This system
has worked well for Indian people and still has a major role in
modern India.
