Caste versus Class

Social stratification can be found in all countries and in many different changes. The caste system in India is often criticized despite the deep belief in Hindu culture. "The caste system has penetrated the Hindu society to an unknown level in other countries, which has also played a role in other civilizations, but invaded the whole in India (Pocock 1974: 228). However, despite criticism, the American class system also restricted its members.

I will briefly explain the main features of caste system and class system. How are these types related to various types of economic production (agriculture and industrial technology)? In the class system, where is equal rather than the caste system? In each case, what are the different reasons for inequality? Modernization theory points out that the expansion of trade and the industrial revolution have resulted in the poorest countries developing and becoming more prosperous. In countries that have fast paced motion technology, this trend will increase, but in countries where this technology is not adopted, there is little change. I think that this trend will continue in the future

In this article we will look at the differences between the two main sociological problems caste and class. Both are related to social stratification systems. According to caste and class, humans are divided into several different groups. These are not human biological or physical structures, but they are created by society. An individual's social position can be defined and identified based on his caste and class. The main difference between caste and class is that caste is vesting status and class is established position. Let's take a closer look at these terms.

In Max Weber's terminology, caste and class are both status groups. Caste is considered to be a genetic group with fixed ritual status, but social class is defined from the viewpoint of production relations. Social class is a group of people with similar socio-economic status related to other classes of society. Individuals and families classified as part of the same social class have similar lifestyle opportunities, fame, lifestyle, attitudes and so on. The class system differs from other forms of hierarchy in many respects such as slavery, inheritance system, caste system. In early textbooks such as Maclver, Davis, Bottomore, it was observed that caste and class are highly antagonistic. They are opposite each other. "Class" represents a "democratic society" with equal opportunities, but "caste" is positive.
