Dear Student,
The following points may help you:
a. The origin of caste syste, can be traced back to vedic civilization, believed to have been started by ancient Aryans who divided the society into four castes such as Brahmana, Kshatriya, Vaisya and Shudra.
b. These divisions were based on the nature of work they performed, where Brahmins were the learned, Kshtriyas the warriors, Vasiya involved the merchants, landowners and the shudras the servants who served them
c. Such a system determined the social order and hierarchy in the society and also determined who is to be the learned section and would avail education.It came to be associated with the social stratum in which one is born and is entirely based on birth.
d. Caste System thus, has been an integral part of our society and has brought about worst kind discrimination and exclusion of the out caste group who were subjected to inhuman treatment and injustice. Shudras/Dalits were subjected to worst form of discrimination and were subjected to inhuman treatment.They were considered to be born in the lowest rung of the varna system whose task was defined to be that of laborers and serving the higher castes, which determined the social order and caste hierarchy.
e. It was believed since they were not dvija or twice born they sought to pollute the varna system
f. They were socially boycotted, not allowed to enter temple, not permitted to read Vedas, denied entry to public places, denied access to drinking water, on the whole they were considered untouchables.
g. The worst form of social practice followed in India was untouchability, which became evident in many forms.
h. Quota system existed even during the colonial period.
i. Even B.R Ambedkar demanded separate political representation for the Dalits.
j. Thus, after Independence while framing our constitution, there was a realisation to provide for reservations for the backward lower caste in jobs and education who were historically marginalised and discriminated.
k.In order to rectify the historical wrong reservation was introduced.Reservations are only corrective and defensive mechanism to protect minorities from the majorities.
l. It is important to note that reservations are governed by the constitution of India.
Regards
