Detailed explanation-1: -How do Hindu beliefs support the caste system? Hindus believe that a person’s caste is a result of karma, that it is a result of that person’s deeds in past lives. Hindus believe that people can improve their caste in the next life by carrying out their dharma (obligations) in this life.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hinduism is bound to the hierarchical structure of the caste system, a categorization of members of society into defined social classes. An individual’s position in the caste system is thought to be a reflection of accumulated merit in past lives (karma).
Detailed explanation-3: -The origins of the caste system in India and Nepal are not fully known, but castes seem to have originated more than 2, 000 years ago. Under this system, which is associated with Hinduism, people were categorized by their occupations. Although originally caste depended upon a person’s work, it soon became hereditary.
