Distinguished Between varna and jati.
  • 1 answers

Yogita Ingle 4 years, 4 months ago

  • 'Varna' is a division of society based on occupation while 'Jati' is a division that was not restricted to only caste or 'varna' system. It is a division based on birth units of Hindu society. 
  • There are only four varnas but there are thousand of jatis. In fact, whenever Brahmanical authorities encountered new groups like the ' forest dwellers', they classified them as a jati.
  • 'Varna' is an ancient division with origin in the Vedas. 'Jati' is of a later origin.
