Currently, India still contains the same social classes as it once did. These are divided into four groups. The Bramin which are the highest, then the Kshatriya, then the Vaishya, the Sundra and finally the Untouchables. This social scale reflects a society that is tied to religion and controlled by it. People in each social class remain in it due to their belief in reincarnation and good conduct. Their society basically states that if a person acts accordingly to the society’s rules on social classes, them maybe when they are reincarnated, they will be born into a higher class. Even though the Indian society is centralized around religion and its values, each person also has the liberty to choose his or her version and live it. Instead of a common belief, each individual is allowed to tweak religion into a form that suits him/ her life. Even though each individual is attached to social order, there is still a level of choice in their daily lives. Another important part of Indian culture is their language. Sanskrit constructed the basis for our writing style used today. Their society is based around this form of writing and spread to much of the world in centuries to come.
