Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The caste system is a form of social stratification characterized by hereditary transmission of a lifestyle which often includes an occupation, status in a hierarchy, and customary social interaction and exclusion based on cultural notions of purity and pollution. Divisions among socioeconomic groups or classes do not solely define the caste system, as it is more specifically related to social hierarchy based on birth.
