@kmmmsyr9883 Susan Bayly, an anthropologist, notes that "caste is not and never has been a fixed fact of Indian life" and the caste system as we know it today, as a "ritualised scheme of social stratification," developed in two stages during the post-Mughal period, in 18th and early 19th century. Three sets of value played an important role in this development: priestly hierarchy, kingship, and armed ascetics.
Michael Wood affirms the same for the ancient period, caste before the early modern period was never what we think of it today.
About Vijayanagara:
The Hindu caste system was prevalent and it influenced daily life in the empire. The rulers who occupied the top of this hierarchy assumed the honorific Varnasramadharma (lit, "helpers of the four castes"). According to Talbot, caste was more importantly determined by occupation or the professional community people belonged to, although the family lineage (Gotra) and the broad distinction described in sacred Hindu texts (the four Varnas; namely the Brahmin or priestly, the Kshatriya or warrior, the Vaishya or merchant and the Shudra or artisan) were also factors. The structure also contained sub-castes (Jati) and caste clusters.[90] According to Vanina, caste as a social identity was not fixed and was constantly changed for reasons including polity, trade and commerce, and was usually determined by context.

@fieldagent7170 The afghans living in afghanistan are the same ones as the people who lived there four thousand years ago. They were always iranic peoples even when hindu. And what makes you think the franks, anglo saxons, visigoths, rus, seljuk turks aren’t invaders but the ghazanavids and ghurids and americans are? there’s literally no difference between these invaders that you can use to victimize india and only india instead of the other countries. and japan was as chinese as afghanistan was indian. meaning, afghanistan wasn’t all that indian anyways, it was always inhabited iranic peoples. japan was always inhabited by japanese, they just shared chinese style buddhism and confucianism, unless, of course, you want to claim japan is a part of india since they are buddhist.
