divided into social classes in what was called the Caste System.

INEQUALITY The Indian Caste System was based

on the belief that not all people are created equal.

PERMANENT… A person could not change their

place in the Caste System. They remained the Caste that they were born into for their entire life.

CASTE SYSTEM The Indian Caste System was divided into

four categories: Priests (Brahmin), Warriors and Rulers, Common people, Unskilled laborers and servants.
