Understanding India's Caste System

It has been said that life is what we make of it. In other words, if we work hard and focus on our goals, we can have great careers and enjoy high status is society. However, these opportunities don’t exist for everyone. In some places, the family you are born into will decide almost everything about your life. India’s caste system is an example of this.

The caste system is a major part of the Hindu religion that has existed for thousands of years. It is a way of organizing and grouping people based on the occupation of the family. Castes will determine whom people can socialize with and their place in society. Originally, a person’s caste was supposed to be determined by their personality, but over time it has been linked to their job and family.

There are four classes, also known as varnas, in India’s caste system. The highest one is Brahmin. People in this class have jobs in education and religion. These are seen as extremely important functions for the society as they deal with the knowledge. The second highest level is the Kshatriya, or ruling class. People from this group can be soldiers, landowners, or have jobs in politics. The class beneath this is the Vaishya. These people often work in the commercial sector as merchants. The fourth class level is the Shudra. Shudras typically work as unskilled labourers doing factory or farm work, or they may also be employed as artists.

There is another group, the Harijan, that is at the bottom and considered to be outside of the caste system. For many years, they were known as Untouchables, people from this caste held the most undesirable jobs in society, such as cleaning up garbage. Furthermore, they weren’t allowed to pray at public temples or drink water from the same wells as other classes. If someone from another caste came into contact with an Untouchable, they were considered dirty and would be expected to bathe vigorously to clean themselves.

Although the caste system still exists in India, the government is taking steps to improve the living conditions and decrease unemployment rates for the Shudras and Harijan. This includes providing better health care, offering literacy programmes, and making sure that people from higher social classes do not exploit them. It seems unlikely that the caste system will disappear any time soon, but the overall conditions for those at the bottom do seem to be improving.

What is the caste system mainly based on?

A. What a person believes on

B. When a person starts school 

C. Who a person’s parents are

D. Where a person was born

Chọn C

Chế độ đẳng cấp chủ yếu dựa vào? 
A. Một người tin vào những gì 
B. Khi một người bắt đầu học 
C. Cha mẹ của một người là ai 
D. Nơi một người được sinh ra

  Điều này có thể được suy ra từ hai câu cuối cùng của đoạn đầu tiên: "In some places, the family you are born into will decide almost everything about your life. India‟s caste system is an example of this." (Ở một số nơi, gia đình mà bạn được sinh ra sẽ quyết định hầu hết mọi thứ về cuộc sống của bạn. Chế độ đẳng cấp ở Ấn Độ là một ví dụ). Có nghĩa là chế độ đẳng cấp phụ thuộc vào việc bố mẹ của một người là ai.
