Abstract:
Human societies are arranged into a number of segments and the theories of social stratification somewhere deals with the social inequalities in various forms like wealth, prestige or power leads to exploitation & oppression of one on another, which ranks them differently on a different stratum of hierarchy. These social inequalities are age-old and omnipresent in societies. In the structural form stratification implies ordering, reordering, distribution, and redistribution of people and resources, respectively. Social inequality refers to the existence of different social classes in various variables such as prestige, income, and status that are ranked one above the other. The specific group or subgroup has a shared interest and common identity and often shares a similar lifestyle that separates them to some degree from members of other social strata. It is widely acknowledged that among the various types of stratification the caste and class are the prominent ones. India is an example where the caste and class both existed in the same society.
