Caste System

In the caste system of India if you are an untouchable, you will always be an untouchable. In the India caste system their is no moving from different classes. Once you are in a class that is the class you will be in for your whole life. As soon as you are born you are put into a class. The classes are Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, Kshudras, and the Dalet. The Brahmins are the highest class. They are mostly made up of priests and teachers. The Kshatriyas are the 2nd highest class and they are made up of warriors and militaries. Vaisyas are the upper middle class or 3rd class and they are made up of the businesses and the communities. The Kshudras are the lower middle class or the 4th and they are made up of servants. The last class and the poorest are the Dalet AKA the untouchables. The little children won't even go near them because they may get "infected". These people are very close to homeless and have no money.
