The Caste System

The caste system is a system of social stratification, or the ranking of people. It is based on Hindu beliefs and has long been a part of Indian society. Although the Indian constitution banned discrimination on the basis of caste in 1950, the system still influences many people’s lives.

Traditional Indian society rested upon four main varna, or occupational groupings.
• Brahmins, a religious class of priests
• Kshatriyas, a warrior class
• Vaisyas, a class of landowners, merchants and herders
• Sudras, a laboring class of servants, or peasants

The harijans were a group of people outside the caste system known as the “untouchables,” or outcasts. They were not considered one of the varna.

Thousands of subcastes have developed within the four varna. The castes into which people are born affect their occupations, marriage partners, and rights and duties within society. The caste system is an important aspect of belief in Hinduism, India’s primary religion.

Rome Elections Primary Document

Background:

          Ancient Rome was a republic.  It did not have a king, and it was not a democracy.  Only men who belonged to a small group actually held office.  For many years, ordinary people tried to get some voice in government.  They won some rights, but power stayed with just a few.

          Roman officials did, however, need the people’s support.  Like modern politicians, they tried different ways to get it.  This reading is from a letter written in 63 B.C.  In it, Quintus Cicero tells his brother how to get elected.

Primary Document

          Whoever gives any sign of liking you, or regularly visits your house, you must put down in the category of friends.  You must take great pain that these men should love you and desire your highest honor as, for example, your tribesmen, neighbors, clients, and finally your freedmen, yes even your slaves; for nearly all the gossip that forms public opinion emanates from your own servants’ quarters.

          In a word, you must secure friends of every class, magistrates, consuls and their tribunes to win you the vote of the centuries (that elect the consuls);  men of wide popular influence.

O

knight, Sir Gallant, is

faced with a dilemma. He

has the misfortune of being

a vassal to both the Count

of Rouen and the Count of

Amiens, who, as luck would

have it, are about to settle

an argument over a piece of

land on the field of battle.

Both counts send out a call

for their vassals and their

vassals’ knights to assemble

immediately for the

purpose of forming an army.

What is Sir Gallant to do?

Can he choose to support

one count at the expense

of the other? Can he

somehow serve both? How

is he to make use of the

four knights in his service?

He is, in modern slang

terminology, “caught between

a rock and a hard place.”

On the lines opposite,

Sir Gallant and his wife,

Jeanne, as they discuss what

he should best do. In at least one page
