How to use "Caste" in context?

Caste is a social stratification system in India and Nepal that tightly controls the allocation of resources and opportunities in society. Caste is based on birth and is inherited through the mother, who is considered the most important figure within the caste system. Caste privileges are accorded to members of a particular caste, and members of lower castes are often confined to positions of service or manual labor. The caste system has been criticized for its allegedly negative effects on social mobility and the structural implementation of discrimination.
