Well...you could say that the caste system (and I assume you're talking about India here) brings people together because it reinforces structural hierarchies in society. People across many different castes contribute to the maintenance of the caste system.\nThis is not necessarily a good thing in my opinion. It's saying that people come together to preserve this tradition which is not necessarily a good one. But they're coming together to do so nonetheless, so I suppose that answers your question.

Certainly a rhetorical question.  I'm sure his kids will do for their country what he did for his.  Can you say caste system?

In short idea of untouchability was taken to extereme by so called idea of Cleanliness among higher cast. The idea of hygene turned psychological peroblem.\n\nThe higher casts were more educated and followed more majors of cleanliness in comparison to lower ones. Later on it was grossly abused custom. Brahmans or other higher casts thought themselves to be purer just by being of higher caste.\n\nBut it is not a problem of Hindus only.\n\nA true telling of "caste-based" behavior of South Asians would show that it cuts across all religious lines, and can be found in churches as well as in masjids. Thus upper caste Syrian Christians advertise specifically for their own types in matrimony, as do other Christians. Goans and other Indian Christians still refer to themselves as Bamon (Brahmins), Bhandaris, Kolis, Prabhus, etc.   \n\n In spite of the fact that around 75% of the Christians are ‘dalits’ who got converted to Christianity to lose their caste or ‘outcaste’ tag, Dalit Christians within the Church were discriminated against and were denied powers within the ecclesiastical structure.\n\nIn the churches or places of worship, which were generally laid out in the shape of a cross, the Christians of upper caste have always humiliated their Dalit fellow Christians by occupying the central part of the church, while the Dalits were assigned to the wings. The Dalits were to take communion only after the upper caste people had done so. In some Protestant churches, there were separate cups for the Dalits at the eucharistic celebration. In the Catholic churches, there were separate communion rails, separate cemeteries in Madras dioceses like Trichy and Pondicherry. Such practices were also found in the Protestant churches. \n\nMuslims are also divided according to caste - Sayyads, Ashrafs, Ajlafs, Jolahas, Rajputs, etc. Marriages are disallowed between the high caste Ashrafs, Sayyads, Sheikhs or Pathans and the low caste Ansaris, Kunjras or Qureshis. The founder of the Aligarh Muslim University, Sir Sayyad Ahmad Khan, denied backward Muslims entry into AMU and kept its door open only for the Ashrafs. Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi wrote a book in which he said that the Sayyads are the highest caste! Dalit Muslims don't even come into the picture as yet."\n\nThree groups found in Indian Muslims of Bengal: \n\nAshraf or better class Muslims – The Sainads, Sheikhs, Pathans, Moghul, Mallik, and Mirza. \nAjlaf or lower caste Muslims – Cultivating Sheikhs, and others who were originally Hindus, Darzi, Jolaha, Fakir, Mallah, Kula Kunjara, Kasai, Kalal, Dhunia, Abdal, Bako, Chamba, Dafali, Dhobi, Hajjan,  etc. \nArzal or degraded class – include Bhanar, Halalkhor, Hijra, Kasbi, Lalbegi, Maugta, Mehra. \n\n\nJust sample these familiar insertions in the Sunday matrimonial pages of any newspaper:  \n\n* CSI Nadar Christian invites alliance...\n* CSI Adi dravida wants ...  \n* Roman Catholic ants...except SC/ST..    \n* Protestant Pillai seeks...  \n\nWelcome to the 'casteless' egalitarian world of Christianity. Or at least, that is what the board outside Evangelists Inc claims. Then what do the above advertisements that routinely appear in very secular newspapers point to? \n true telling of "caste-based" behavior of South Asians would show that it cuts across all religious lines, and can be found in churches as well as in masjids. Thus upper caste Syrian Christians advertise specifically for their own types in matrimony, as do other Christians. Goans and other Indian Christians still refer to themselves as Bamon (Brahmins), Bhandaris, Kolis, Prabhus, etc.   \n\nAli Anwar, a Muslim author, maintains in his book "War of Equality" that it's a myth that Indian Islam is caste-free. "Neither the Muslims' ruling elite nor the religious leaders have so far made any meaningful efforts to remove the disease of inequality that has made Dalit Muslims suffer for centuries," he writes.

Single most beneficiary? Well it is the politicians!!!\n\nThe reservations divide the society and the country.\n\nThey effect the merit and the progress of the country and forever make the backward classes backward.\n\nOnly enemies of the country and religion can think of such things.\n\nWhat is needed is more schools and more care for the backward in terms of special institutes, money grants, interest free loans etc.\nOnly such affirmitive action will be a solution for the centuries old insults heaped upon them.\nAlso, from religious angle, many Swamis, acharyas are urging for priests from backward classes and giving them vedic education, this will also go a great way in improving their social status alsong with the above mentioned ways for economic standard.

The natives didn't necessarily have social classes.  There was a division of labor, and people did what they were good at or born to do, but everyone contributed to the society.  There were priests or shamans or medicine men, a number of chiefs-war chiefs as one example, warriors, hunters, and the women.  No one was really higher than anyone else.

Ignorance, Insecurity (i.e, unaware of cultures other than their own very limited ones, or the vast benefits of learning about them or learning in general; and fear of the unknown largely due to this same stupidity, and the tendency to handle this perceived threat in a reactionary, animalistic manner). Such people often just go along others, having no confidence in themselves, and thus the tendency to gang up ("safety in numbers"). Please note that educated, intelligent persons are far less likely to have such prejudice, although the impact of their national or local culture still can be very strong (such as in India, where a caste system persists).\n\nIn addition, prejudice, hatred, and tribal behavior has been further promoted by some politicians and other petty leaders, who got there largely because of the same human tendencies to band up and look for direction, so they just pick a popular concept (fear is one of the best) and preach about it to get votes at emotional gatherings, thus inciting more hate and violence.

The best way to get an accurate answer is to go to India, and ask people this same question. Good luck and tell me what you came up with!

Religionis a system of social coherence based on a common group of beliefs or attitudes concerning an object, person, unseen being, or system of thought considered to be supernatural, sacred, divine or highest truth, and the moral codes, practices, values, institutions, and rituals associated with such belief or system of thought. It is sometimes used interchangeably with "faith" or "belief system"[1], but is more socially defined than that of personal convictions.\n\nCASTE-Caste systems are traditional, hereditary systems of social stratification, such as clans, gentes, or the Indian caste system\n\nCustom-consists of established patterns of behaviour that can be objectively verified within a particular social setting.

1) Remove 'Education & Job Reservations' for the creamy  \n   layers (i.e. rich classes) belonging to the Schedule \n   Castes,  Schedule Tribes, and other minorities.  These\n   creamy bastards eating away benefits of the 'poorest of \n   the poor' in India.\n\n2) Channelise all the recruitments / jobs thorough reliable \n   agencies like UPSC, as most of the scientific \n   institutions and academic organisations (in the name of \n   atonamy) are recruiting people of their own caste / \n   region / or other corrupt practices.\n\n3) Inculcate 'sincerity and honesty' in peopole by rooting \n   out corrupt elements.

Landowners? Vassals? Knights? Kings? Clergy?\n\nThis is the full hierarchy, generally, for Europe.\n\nPope -> King -> Noblemen -> Cardinals, Bishops, etc. -> Petty Nobles (Vassals), Tradesmen -> Serfs and Peasants -> Slaves and Servants.\n\nIn India (the caste system), Brahmins (scholars and priests) held the top tier, (although warriors held the top at first), followed by warriors, tradesmen and merchants, sudras (laborers) and finally the Untouchables (people like gravediggers)
