The Varna system or Vedic caste system, which later deteriorated into the modern caste system due to colonialism and misinterpretations, was natural and necessary for proper functioning of the company. In this article we see how it is very different from the modern caste system and how it is very natural and we will also see some evidence from the scriptures that supports it. The original caste system or Vedic caste system: Currently the caste system is all about some people feeling superior and others inferior based on birth, which is not the case with the original caste system or Vedic caste system or the Varna system.
