India’s caste system, in which there are four major castes, or varnas, is a social construct that is ascribed and immutable: people are born into this system and cannot move between castes. In American society, class systems, of which there are five, are social rankings based largely on economic position. In America, unlike India, one can transcend class through economic or social success. After reading “Caste in India and the United States”, assess whether or not an individual can transcend class in the United States. Berreman, G. D. (1960, September).
