The cast system was practically no different from the class system of most civilized societies. It was a system of governance that is demonstrated in colonies of ants and bees. It was also generic to the hieratical systems used to classify workers, with respect to their academic achievements and social status.
As a result of human greed and vanity it developed into an extremely oppressive system of discrimination and tyranny.
In today's society we basically have the Upper Class, the Middle Class and the Lower Class. The upper class has created structures that engage in preferential treatment for their clan. Form the education of their children to the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the way they socialize, their security, their health care and their preferential influence.
There is a system called democracy, which is purported to engender social equity and parity but you can discern a sinister capitalist agenda dictating Governmental policies.
Sometimes the determination of an operating system as good or bad relies upon the integrity of the operator.
In today's society, we are grouped into Upper class, Middle class and Lower class - mainly by the money we earn and by the background and education we have had. However, the Caste System is not organised by money, this is one of the wonderful aspects of the caste system; money had no role in determining the fate of a person. A rich trader (Vaishya), however rich he was, was still a trader. A warrior (Kshatriya) could enjoy power and respect, but earned them only by fighting and defending the Brahmins, Vaishyas and Shudras. A Brahmin was not closest to Moksha because of his money - the Brahmins live the life of a frugal person without any luxuries - but because of his beliefs.
Yes, the caste system is a system of social stratification in which people are categorized into hierarchical groups based on their birth. Caste discrimination refers to the unfair treatment or prejudice experienced by individuals based on their caste, leading to social, economic, and educational disparities. Discrimination based on caste is a violation of human rights and is prevalent in some societies where the caste system exists.
The caste system in India traditionally divides society into hierarchical groups based on occupation and social status.
The caste system is considered a fixed social class system because it is a hereditary system where individuals are born into a particular caste and their social status is predetermined based on their caste. Movement between castes is traditionally not allowed, resulting in fixed social stratification.

rebirth into a higher caste in the caste system
It brings someone in the Caste System, ( in India ) , to a higher part of the caste system. Let's say that someone in India was a untouchable, someone who stays outside the walls, has good karma they will be born into a higher caste group.
That when the caste system began people may have acted differently, by being as good as they can be so they don't get reincardinated as the untouchable.
It depends. If you are on the subject of Buddhism ,then the caste system is basically depended on karma. If you are born in a lower level, then you will stay in a low system until you die. If you do good in your life , you will be entered in a higher level of the caste system.
