Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Indian caste system is a complex social structure wherein social roles like one’s profession became ‘hereditary, ‘ resulting in restricted social mobility and fixed status hierarchies. Furthermore, we argue that the inherent property of caste heightens group identification with one’s caste.

Detailed explanation-3: -There were four classes in the caste system: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (kings, governors, and warriors), Vaishyas (cattle herders, agriculturists, artisans, and merchants), and Shudras (laborers and service providers).
