Description

A caste is a fixed social group into which an individual is born within a particular system of social stratification: a caste system. Within such a system, individuals are expected to: marry exclusively within the same caste (endogamy), follow lifestyles often linked to a particular occupation, hold a ritual status observed within a hierarchy, and interact with others based on cultural notions of exclusion, with certain castes considered as either more pure or more polluted than others. The term "caste" is also applied to morphological groupings in eusocial insects such as ants, bees, and termites.

જાતિ એ મોટાભાગે વ્યવસાય આધારિત અને વારસાગત ઉતરી આવેલું સામાજીક માળખું છે, જે ખાસ સામાજીક નિયમો અને પ્રતિબંધો ધરાવે છે. જાતિનો ખ્યાલ વિવિધ ધર્મોમાં રહેલો છે, પરંતુ તે ભારતીય સમાજમાં લાંબા સમયથી હજુ સુધી વ્યાપેલ છે. જોકે, ભારતના જાતિવાદનું આર્થિક મહત્વ શહેરીકરણને લીધે ઘટી ગયું છે. જાતિ પ્રથાને ઘણી વખત કીડી જેવા પ્રાણીઓમાં રહેલા સામાજીક માળખા સાથે પણ સરખાવાય છે.
