Hindi Hai Vatan Hai Hindustan Hamara

In India, there are about 128,000,000 million people belonging to various castes, 371,000,000 people from the backward castes and 120,000,000 people from the upper Hindu castes.
The Indian caste system has been in use for many years. Still today the values of the caste system are held strongly. It has kept a sense of order, and peace among the people. There are five different levels of the system: Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra, and Harijans. Within each of these categories are the actual "castes" or jatis within which people are born, marry, and die. They all have their own place among each other and accept that it is the way to keep society from disintegrating to chaos. This system has worked well for Indian people and still has a major role in modern India.
