In this paper, we talked about the History of caste system in India and how the evolution of caste happened in India. Basically, we talked about that how caste has changed or has adapted itself to the circumstances and how caste has evolved from those Vedic times when this caste system was considered was too rigid and what it is now in this contemporary world and has lost his rigidity not completely but to some extent. In simpler words if we define caste, so we can say that caste is an intrinsic part of our Indian society that differentiates society into four groups- Brahmin, kshatriyas, Vaishyas and shudras. The word caste was coined for the first time by Portuguese people meaning race. We will also talk about how caste system is not only harmful to Dalits but also to the Shavarna community. Because of this caste system how undivided India is divided into different castes.
