The confusing caste system on 2009-10-14
-
Jat is determined by
birth and it cannot be changed. In
the beginning the caste system was not a strict system
and people could move from one Varna to another.
Indologists give different dates to this period of change.
Some claim the change occurred around 500 B. C. and other
claim 500 A. D. Until then, communities and even singular
person moved from one Varna to another Varna, because of
their desire to adopt different occupations. There were
some kings who belonged the Kshatria (warrior castes) and
changed their status to become religious Brahmans. There
were also who changed their status to become warriors.
And even after the caste system was organized in a strict
manner there were many communities who did not always
follow their status occupations. There was a case of a
Jat that lost its high status because they did not
profess the profession worthy of their Varna. The
Kayastha of east and north east India originally belonged
to the Kshatria Varna (warrior caste). Some time in the
past among warriors communities, there developed a
bureaucratic unit whose job was writing and listing war
events and they were called Kayasthas. Because these unit
members were not warriors, they were excluded from the
Kshatria status and were given a lower status. But the
Kayasthas even today claim Kshatria status.
