Indian Caste System

[Rufusd]

Is the Caste System in Indian society derived from a division of labour that got fossilised or is it a vestige of blond (Aryan) supremacism over the brunette (Dravadian) civilizations?

Thank You

Purely unscientifically and based completely without proof or recourse to study, my impression is that the caste was borne out of ancient tribal conflicts (long forgotten) and the tribes that won the most became the ruling castes, the ones that lost the most became the Dalits and the ones inbetween became the middle rated castes.
Just my thoughts on the subject.

I know absolutely nothing about it either

Do you want my opinion too?

It's still a free country, go on!

you're born into a caste and rarely allowed to break from it. It is slavery for 'untouchables' - Dalits! Indians claim the caste system is illegal but in reality overlook this abominable practice - no human rights for Dalits!

Many Dalits try to break by claiming christianity but today, are killed for this belief. Read more here:
