Detailed Solution

The caste division is unique to India. The caste system has evolved from the grouping system that supported occupations associated with degrees on the principle that an occupation passed from one generation to the next. In general, social divisions are divisions of people supported by category, race, gender, geographic location, variation mode, and knowledge. However, in India, social divisions are the result of social differences, and these divisions indicate individuals' authority to access resources and opportunities. High castes have more access to societal resources and have more say and respect in society. Lower castes tend to face discrimination and unequal justice. One of the main characteristics of the caste system in India is that it is determined by which family one is born into. So a child born into a Shudra family is shudra and must perform his caste-related duties.
