In Hinduism, caste means a hereditary position in society. In Indian society, it is called “jati.”
According to tradition, the four varnas (main categories of castes) comprised different parts of the body of the original man (known as Purusha) from whom humanity came.
Traditionally, a person is restricted to marrying someone from the same caste, and only by their parents’ arrangement.
If one marries outside one’s caste, they may be expelled from the community.
In ancient times, caste may have been much less rigid, with more social mobility.
