  • Caste is a social rank in Hinduism. Brahmins are priests and scholars, Kshatriya are rulers, Vaishya are peasants, and Shudra are serfs. Good karma enables one to improve his caste in the next life. Today, caste discrimination is illegal in India but still persists in rural areas.
  • The Polaris society is organized into rigid social groups called castes. Each caste has a specific occupational mission set out for its members; for example, the Nil'kemorya are the warrior caste, charged with defending the society against aggressors. Unlike most examples of caste systems in human history, the Polaris model is cooperative, rather than hierarchical; neither the warrior nor the administrative caste is held up as superior to the others. This thoughtfully organized system is one of the major reasons that Polaris society is much more stable than other human societies in Nova.
  • Castes are what seperates workers from queens in most Hymenoptera. In wasps (not polistes) queen larvae are fed more insect meat by workers and cells are larger. Polistinae have no castes.
  • A social custom among the Malkioni and the Zzaburi. * They divide their men into one of four castes: Commoner, Soldier, Wizard and Ruler. * Certain Sects and Heresies have modified the caste system, the most common modification being the caste of Knights. * Castes are normally inherited through the father although in the case of bastardry, the mother's father's caste can be inherited. * Women have no caste, although in practice they can perform the duties of their father or husband without offense.
  • A Caste is the place which a person is born. In Hinduism, the lowest caste are the workers and the highest caste are the Brahmin Priests, the cows are also considered like Brahmins [1]. Not all Hindus accept the caste system, some see caste as an aberration of original Hindu teachings, the caste system is legally banned. The Dalits are treated even worse than the workers. Dalits are either very low cast or so low they don't even have a caste. And accrding to Hinduism all foreigners who are not Indians or descended from Indians are without caste. Most people reading this are Dalits.
  • All dwarves are born into inherited castes that determine what sorts of opportunities they will encounter during their lives and how others will treat them. The main principle on which the caste system works is that dwarves inherit their caste from their same-sex parent. This means that if a woman is married to a man of a different caste, her son would be the same caste as his father, while her daughter will inherit her mother's caste. In such cases, however, the family would normally live in the house of the parent who belongs to a higher caste.
  • Castes are inherited social statuses. Though weaker in the so-called Middle North, the Inrithi caste system is one of the central institutions of Three Seas society. In a technical sense, there almost as many castes as there are occupations, but in practice they fall into roughly four different groups: the suthenti or laboring castes (caste-menial); the momurai or transactional castes (caste-apparati); the nahat or priestly castes (caste-priest); and the kijneta or warrior castes (caste-noble).
  • Caste-based discrimination was illegal in the Federation and is prohibited by the Federation Charter. (DS9: "Accession") In the 22nd and 23rd century the Klingons had a warrior caste. One Klingon, Antaak, was disowned by his father for becoming a healer even though his house belonged to the warrior caste. (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence"; DIS: "The Vulcan Hello") Troglytes and Stratos city-dwellers were the two castes on Ardana, divided by different levels of intellect. (TOS: "The Cloud Minders" )

abstract
  • Castes are inherited social statuses. Though weaker in the so-called Middle North, the Inrithi caste system is one of the central institutions of Three Seas society. In a technical sense, there almost as many castes as there are occupations, but in practice they fall into roughly four different groups: the suthenti or laboring castes (caste-menial); the momurai or transactional castes (caste-apparati); the nahat or priestly castes (caste-priest); and the kijneta or warrior castes (caste-noble). Elaborate jnanic protocols supposedly govern all interactions within and between castes to ensure the observances of various privileges and obligations, as well as to minimize ritual pollution, but in practical terms they are rarely adhered to unless in the pursuit of advantage.
  • Caste-based discrimination was illegal in the Federation and is prohibited by the Federation Charter. (DS9: "Accession") In the 22nd and 23rd century the Klingons had a warrior caste. One Klingon, Antaak, was disowned by his father for becoming a healer even though his house belonged to the warrior caste. (ENT: "Affliction", "Divergence"; DIS: "The Vulcan Hello") The Torothan homeworld had a caste system under which the Torothan clan terrorised Zobral's clan for centuries, forcing them to wear a Yrott amongst other things. The caste system had officially been abolished for a number of years by 2152, but little had changed. (ENT: "Desert Crossing") Troglytes and Stratos city-dwellers were the two castes on Ardana, divided by different levels of intellect. (TOS: "The Cloud Minders" ) Aldean society was structured into units, or social groups, which specialized in a particular art or pursuit. (TNG: "When The Bough Breaks" ) Remans were considered an undesirable caste in the hierarchy of the Romulan Star Empire. (Star Trek Nemesis)

Most people reading this are Dalits. For a person to go up, they have to be good in their caste. This means no complaining, and to do whatever their caste requires. If they're a beggar, they must beg. If they're a king, they must rule. If they're a fish, they must swim. The caste system is almost abolished in towns but it carries on in rural areas.
  • All dwarves are born into inherited castes that determine what sorts of opportunities they will encounter during their lives and how others will treat them. The main principle on which the caste system works is that dwarves inherit their caste from their same-sex parent. This means that if a woman is married to a man of a different caste, her son would be the same caste as his father, while her daughter will inherit her mother's caste. In such cases, however, the family would normally live in the house of the parent who belongs to a higher caste. Due to this system, as well as dwarves' low fertility rate, there are noble hunters. These dwarves are often female and seek to find a partner of a higher caste (usually nobles) in order to improve their lives. Noble hunters are usually looked upon favorably in the dwindling dwarven society. If an accomplished dwarf joins a house or another organization of a lower caste, it is possible that the house or organization will assume the caste of the dwarf. The only other way to advance is to become a Paragon, a move that automatically raises a dwarf above the caste system (although typically is part of the noble caste)[further explanation needed] and gives them the power to induct any family they wish into their new noble house. Becoming a Paragon is possible for a member of any caste so long as the dwarf has achieved sufficient success and acclaim. Many of the castes also have a strata within them, and the rank of specific members may be a source of considerable argument. Amongst the castes there is great contention as well; for example, highly placed members of the Smith caste might consider themselves above soldiers of the Warrior caste.
