CASTE
INTRODUCTION: The social structure of Indian society is characterised by a
unique social institution called caste. The caste system which emerged out of the
varna system has withstood the onslaughts of time and continues to exist even at
present.
MEANING: The word is derived from Spanish word ‘CASTA’ which means
‘lineage’ or ‘race.’
DEFINITIONS:
According to C.H. Cooley, “When a class is somewhat strictly hereditary, we may
call it a caste.”
According to Anderson and Parker, Caste is that extreme form of social class
organisation in which the position of the individuals is status hierarchy is
determined by descent and birth.”

CLASS OR SOCIAL CLASS
The term class first came into wide use in the early 19th century, replacing such terms
as rank and order as descriptions of the major hierarchical groupings in society. This usage reflected
changes in the structure of western European societies after the industrial and political revolutions
of the late 18th century. Feudal distinctions of rank were declining in importance, and the new
social groups that were developing—the commercial and industrial capitalists and the urban
working class in the new factories—were defined mainly in economic terms, either by the
ownership of capital or, conversely, by dependence on wages. Although the term class has been
applied to social groups in a wide range of societies, including ancient city-states, early empires,
and caste or feudal societies, it is most usefully confined to the social divisions in modern societies,
particularly industrialized ones. Social classes must be distinguished from status groups; the former
are based primarily upon economic interests, while the latter are constituted by evaluations of the
honour or prestige of an occupation, cultural position, or family descent.
In simple words: Class or Social Class refers to divisions in society based on economic and social
status. People in the same social class typically share a similar level of wealth, educational
achievement, type of job and income.
