Caste system The caste system in Hinduism started with the
Aryan people and their religion. There were four categories. There
was one more category not even part of the systemthe untouchables.
The untouchables did jobs that no one else wanted to dolike
cleaning toilets, handling the dead. They ate and drank the food
and water thrown out by the other castes. The caste system was very
oppressive. In many cases, Hindus could not eat with or even speak
to members of other castes. Marrying someone of another caste was
forbidden. For a long time, Hindus believed that people deserved to
be in whatever caste they belonged, and that a persons caste
placement was the result of actions during previous lives. In the
20th century, India's government outlawed the caste system because
it was unfair. However, even today, castes still exist in some
parts of India.

More beliefs of Hinduism! Reincarnation is the belief that a
person is reborn as someone else after his or her death. Karma is
the idea that a person who performs good deeds will be rewarded in
the next life. A person who does bad deeds will be punished. If a
person is kind and generous, they can come back in a higher caste
in their next life. Moksha is the ultimate goal of the Hindu. The
soul is freed. Moksha is reached when a person stops wanting and
becomes content with what has been given. After reaching moksha, a
persons soul becomes one with Brahman. That is the ultimate
goal!
