UNDERSTANDING INDIA’S CASTE SYSTEM
It has been said that life is what we make of it. In other words, if we work hard and
focus on our goals, we can have great careers and enjoy high status is society.
However, these opportunities don’t exist for everyone. In some places, the family
you are born into will decide almost everything about your life. India’s caste
system is an example of this.
The caste system is a major part of the Hindu religion that has existed for
thousands of years. It is a way of organizing and grouping people based on the
occupation of the family. Castes will determine whom people can socialize with
and their place in society. Originally, a person’s caste was supposed to be
determined by their personality, but over time it has been linked to their job and
family.
There are four classes, also known as varnas, in India’s caste system. The highest
one is Brahmin. People in this class have jobs in education and religion. These are
seen as extremely important functions for the society as they deal with the
knowledge. The second highest level is the Kshatriya, or ruling class. People from
this group can be soldiers, landowners, or have jobs in politics. The class beneath
this is the Vaishya. These people often work in the commercial sector as
merchants. The fourth class level is the Shudra. Shudras typically work as
unskilled laborers doing factory or farm work, or they may also be employed as
artists.
There is another group, the Harijan, that is at the bottom and considered to be
outside of the caste system. For many years, they were known as Untouchables,
people from this caste held the most undesirable jobs in society, such as cleaning
up garbage. Furthermore, they weren’t allowed to pray at public temples or drink
water from the same wells as other classes. If someone from another caste came
into contact with an Untouchable, they were considered dirty and would be
expected to bathe vigorously to clean themselves,
Although the caste system still exists in India, the government is taking steps to
improve the living conditions and decrease unemployment rates for the Shudras
and Harijan. This includes providing better health care, offering literacy
programmes, and making sure that people from higher social classes do not exploit
them. It seems unlikely that the caste system will disappear any time soon, but the
overall conditions for those at the bottom do seem to be improving.
1. Which of the following is not true about India’s caste system?
A. The caste system has been used in India for a long time.
B. The Kshatriya is the second highest class.
C. Hard work helps people move up in the caste system.
D. It is possible that a Shudra would work on a farm.
2. The word “this” in paragraph 1 refers to ____.

B. the pleasure of life in India
C. the India’s caste system existing for thousands of years
D. the major part of the Hindu religion
3. What is the caste system mainly based on?
A. What a person believes on
B. When a person starts school
C. Who a person’s parents are
D. Where a person was born
4. What kind of job would a Brahmin likely have?
A. A priest
B. A warrior
C. An inventor
D. A painter
5. What could replace the word “ruling” in paragraph 3?
A. defeating
B. guessing
C. delaying
D. governing
6. All of the following are true about the Harijan EXCEPT that ____.
A. they used to be known as Untouchables
B. they had to do undesirable jobs in society
C. any contact between someone from another caste with an Untouchable was
considered unacceptable
D. anyone from another caste coming to contact with an Untouchable is not
allowed to pray at temples
7. What does the passage suggest about the future of the caste system?
A. One day soon it won’t be used anymore in India.
B. It is probably going to get worse before it gets better.
C. The bottom groups will rise to rule over the top classes.
D. It will likely continue to exist for a long time in India.
IV. Read the following passage and choose among A, B, C or D the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The custom of paying a bride price before marriage is still a well-established part
of many African cultures. In paying a bride price, the family of the groom must
provide payment to the family of the bride before the marriage is allowed. The
bride price can vary greatly from culture to culture in Africa. In the Zulu and
Swazi tribes of southern Africa, the bride price often takes the form of cattle. In
Western African kola nuts, shells, and other goods are often used for the payment
of the bride price. The actual payment of money sometimes takes place, but the
payment of goods is more frequent. The amount of paid in a bride price can also
vary. In modern times, the bride price is occasionally quite small and its value is
mainly symbolic. However, the bride price can still be quite high, especially
among prominent or highly traditional families.
There are a number of justifications used to explain the payment of bride
price. The first is that the bride price represents an acknowledgement of the
expense the bride’s family has gone in order to raise her and bring her up as a
suitable bride for the groom. It also represents payment for the loss of a family
member, since the bride will officially become a member of her husband’s family
and will leave her own. On a deeper level the bride price represents payment for
the fact that the bride will bring children into the family of the groom, thereby
increasing the wealth of the family. This concept is reinforced by the fact that the
bride price must often be returned if the bride fails to bear children.
The payment of the bride price has quite a number of effects on African society.
First, the payment of bride price acts to increase the stability of African family
structures. Sons are dependent on their fathers and older relatives to help them pay
the bride price of their wives, and this generally leads to greater levels of
obedience and respect. The negotiations between the two families concerning the
bride price allow the parents and other family members to meet and get to know
one another before the marriage. Finally, since the bride price must often be repaid
in case of divorce, the bride’s family often works to make sure that
any marital problems are solved quickly. Bride prices also work as a system of
wealth distribution in African cultures, Wealthier families can afford to support the
marriage of their son, and thus their wealth is transferred to other families.
