The caste system is very interesting because if you're on the lower end you get treated poorly. The restaurant was very poor for the poor people. They are skinny. They need mental help. They are sick.
The caste system is, and was, a flawed system. And I know that if I were in a country that had the caste system... I would have a "horrible accident" and be gone forever. As a rule there are lots of people on the bottom, very few on the top, and maybe a few in-between. It would be easier than you think for the lower castes to rise up against their "betters." It is actually more of a mental battle. The lower castes are shackled by different mind-sets. "You need to die and become r e b o r n in order to 'rank up." "You are simply less and always will be." These are the lies fed to the masses to make them just keep their heads down and continue feeding the colossal, ever-hungry machine that is the country.
The house is small in the film. It is made out of wood. Their bed is so small that the son and dad sleep together. They barely have furniture in their house. They share almost everything.
The system goes: Brahmins(priests), Khsatriyans(warriors),Vaisshyas(merchants), Shurdras(servants), Untouchables(poor people). The first 3 are aryans. Aryans are traditionally blue-eyed, white, and blonde. The definition of the Caste system is a system which shows way of life. There are 17 countries with a Caste system.
The caste system decides someone's place in life. There's four different levels. People in the lowest caste don't have very good housing and seem to be really poor. most of the houses are made of like sticks and mud. The family had two beds. The teacher was born into the lower caste and so was the police officer. The people on the higher part of the caste have lots of money and better jobs. you have to marry into your caste or be born into it. 
The caste system is the hierarchy of the people that live there. There are 5 different levels. There are multiple levels within those 5 but those are the main points. Priests are the highest on the hierarchy. The lowest level are the outcasts and they are called untouchables. 
Their houses in the film are small. Two people sleep in the same bed together. It's made out of wood, dirt, rocks, and hay. Their furniture is mostly made out of wood. They have to share almost everything.
