Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The caste system is designed so that there is almost no social mobility. People are born, live, and die within the same caste. Families hardly ever change castes, and intermarrying or crossing into a new caste is forbidden.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sanskritisation is a process whereby low Hindu caste changes its customs, rites, rituals, ideology and way of life in the direction of high and frequently twice-born castes. This has paved the way for mobility to occur within caste system.
Detailed explanation-3: -The caste system divides Hindus into four main categories-Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the Shudras. Many believe that the groups originated from Brahma, the Hindu God of creation.
