At the time, the universities in india that you needed to attend in order to advance in society, were very expensive
As such, the only people who could afford to get educated were the people with rich parents already
And for others, the fathers and mothers began teaching their children their professions
And families began being related to professions
For example, In the state of Karnataka, the name Iyengar is related to bakeries
and in Kerala, the name Nair is related to warriors and Nobles
Over the years, these became the castes
The families which had been historically poor, the servant classes, were resented by the families that were historically rich and vice versa
The priest and educated families became the Brahmin caste
The warrior and similar families became the Kshatriyas
The tradesmen classes became the Vaishyas
And the servant classes became the Shudras
@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.
That's really interesting
But how is it identity politics in the article

Well, in modern day castes aren't the same anymore
Mostly because of reservations
As of now, the narrative is that lower castes are being oppressed by higher castes
and the Indian society as a whole is turned against them
Ohhhhhh
I get it now
indian history sounds like fantasy
when the fire nation attacked all the indian warring states were seperated

@Hannibal#7400 Ironically, it's the exact opposite
India was united by the people who conquered it
@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.
you mean alexander the great @Deleted User
oh wait
he didnt conquer it
the british were great unite people against them
No, no
The East India company conquered another empire
It was called the Mughal Empire
They were the ones that paid the foundations for what India is now
Especially Aurangzeb
And Akbar
