The Caste system began in ancient societies, and it was developed for reasons of defining and establishing separate social classes in a community. In this regard, the social positions of the humanity, the employment functions of the individuals in power that was based on patriarchy defined the Caste system. The Caste system has survived even up to the present day directly through the establishment of genetic, social structures that protects the interest of the rich and the most influential individuals in a society (Jodhka, 2017)
