The Indian caste system has been in use for many years. Still today the values of the caste system are held strongly. It has kept a sense of order, and peace among the people. There are five different levels of the system: Brahman (teachers, scholars and priests), Kshatriya (kings and warriors), Vaishya (traders), Shudra (agriculturists, service providers, and some artisan groups), and Harijans. Within each of these categories are the actual "castes" or jatis within which people are born, marry, and die.This system has worked well for Indian people and still has a major role in modern India.
