The Rules of Caste System

Poeple who are from different castes can not marry. A person can not change his caste in this world because Indian people believe in reincarnation. They believe that when they come this world for second time they will be in a higher level. People from different castes can not eat food together. People from different castes can not work together.

 They all have their own place among each other and accept that it is the way to keep society from disintegrating to chaos. This system has worked well for Indian people and still has a major role in modern India.
