This castes give people a place in the society.
There are many religions in the Indian culture, such as Hinduism, Islamism, Jainism, Sikhism, Zoroastrianism and Budism. Some of them coincide in the beliefs of samsara, which is a reencarnation cycle ruled by dharma (good things) and kharma (bad things that you should correct), and of nirvana, which is the ultimate goal to achieve (the perfect state) in Hinduism. These Indian religions are divided into monotheistic and polytheistic and implement different kinds of behaviour in order to avoid suffering and temptations.
