Research Center conducted a poll based on
American and Western European values.

Indias caste system, in which there are four
major castes, or varnas, is a social construct

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 Overlapping
