Detailed explanation-1: -Your caste is assigned at birth based on the caste of your family. The caste system was first outlined in the Hindu text, the Laws of Manu – written around 250 B.C. Dalits are considered so impure, the are forbidden to share the same water, use the same street, etc. as higher castes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Caste is a form of social stratification characterised by endogamy, hereditary transmission of a style of life which often includes an occupation, ritual status in a hierarchy, and customary social interaction and exclusion based on cultural notions of purity and pollution.
Detailed explanation-3: -The caste system, as it actually works in India is called jati. The term jati appears in almost all Indian languages and is related to the idea of lineage or kinship group. There are perhaps more than 3000 jatis in India and there is no one all-Indian system of ranking them in order of status.
