Caste System of Indian Muslims
Keywords:
Caste System, Muslim, India, IslamAbstract
Caste system is also a form of social stratification which based on religious beliefs. The study found that the caste system of Hinduism has an influence on Muslims in India. Since the majority of Muslims in India are those whose ancestors had converted to Islam during the Muslim Empire's rule in the Middle Ages, then they brought the idea of caste in to practice though caste is prohibited in Islamic doctrine. However, the caste system in Muslim societies is less strict and complex than the Hindu caste system because the caste system in Muslims is a form of social stratification and duty in society not related to religious teachings. The caste system in Indian Muslim society has existed because it conforms to the general social structure of India. The Muslim ruling class in the Middle Ages benefited from the concept of caste, which can organize and duty for people of all religions, as well as to strengthen the power of the guardians.
