Abstract:
Abstract-Caste system in India is believed to have originated from Varna system which prevailed during Vedic era. ’Varna’ is a Hindi word supposed to have roots in Sanskrit word ‘Vri’ which means ‘to select’ or ‘to opt’ hence this word is used for selection or for opting a particular profession or trade which essentially is based on one’s aptitude and it had nothing to do with inheritance of a particular trade or profession from ancestors. During Vedic and Epic eras people were supposed to have four different needs i.e need of education or intellectual need, need of safety , need of livelihood or economic need and need of service and in order to fulfill these needs the whole society is divided into four different parts and each part or section was assigned with the responsibility of fulfillment of a particular need and this very division is known as ‘Varna vibhajan’ i.e. Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Shudra and each one fulfills needs as per their responsibility or status also known as ‘varna dharma’.
