How did the groups within the indian caste system interact or relate with each other?

The traditional caste system in India was a system in which the people were divided in several castes, and they were not able to change their caste during their life. A caste represented a social status, so in what caste a person is born in that caste that person spends its life.

The members of the same caste were interacting with each other. They collaborated, visited each other, married between each other. They also used the same public places, lived in similar facilities, and were pretty much on the same level in most aspects of life.

When it came to members of different castes, than they were not communicating with one another except if they had to. Marriages between members of different castes were forbidden. Also, it was humiliating and shameful to interact with people from lower castes, so we can easily say it was an example of segregation in the society.

the caste system in india is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. it has origins in ancient india, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern india, especially the mughal empire and the british raj.it is today the basis of educational and job reservations in india.it consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.

the caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the mughal era and the british colonial regime in india. the collapse of the mughal era saw the rise of powerful men who associated themselves with kings, priests and ascetics, affirming the regal and martial form of the caste ideal, and it also reshaped many apparently casteless social groups into differentiated caste communities.the british raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration
