(Social) stratification
ranking some individuals and groups as more deserving than others; from this a social hierarchy is formed which is a set of ranked statuses from highest to lowest
Where does this system come from?
The most widely accepted theory is that the four basic divisions of the Hindu caste system—the Varna—developed in the period 1500-1000 B.C. as a result of the Aryan conquest of India.
Who are SC,ST and OBC?
STs are generally those who have been living in tribal areas located far away from modern civilization—such that the fruits of modern education and development have not reached them in, at least, an equal measure.
Other Backward Classes (OBCs) are defined as peoples economically and socially backward other than SC, ST, and FC.
