Is cineál srathaithe shóisialta é ceast (nó sainaicme) arb iad a shainairíonna ná an t-ionghamas, tarchur oidhreachtúil ar stíl mhaireachtála lena n-áirítear go minic slí bheatha, stádas deasghnátha in ordlathas, agus gnáth-idirghníomhaíocht shóisialta agus eisiamh bunaithe ar choincheapa cultúrtha íonachta agus truaillithe.[1][2][3][4][5] Is é an sampla eitneagrafach paraidímeach ná rannán sochaí Hiondúch na hIndia i ngrúpaí sóisialta dochta, le fréamhacha i stair ársa na hIndia agus ag leanúint go dtí an t-am i láthair. Mar sin féin, tá laghdú tagtha ar thábhacht eacnamaíoch chóras na gceastaí san India mar thoradh ar uirbiú agus ar chláir ghníomhaíochta dearfacha. Ina mhórábhar scoláireachta ag socheolaithe agus antraipeolaithe, úsáidtear an córas ceast Hiondúch uaireanta mar bhonn analachúil chun staidéar a dhéanamh ar dheighiltí sóisialta mar a bheadh ceast lasmuigh den Hiondúchas agus an India. Cuirtear an téarma "ceast" i bhfeidhm freisin ar ghrúpálacha moirfeolaíocha i bhfeithidí eoshóisialta amhail seangáin, beacha, agus seangáin bhána.[6]

Some scholars, in fact, deny that true caste systems are found outside India. The caste is a closed group whose members are severely restricted in their choice of occupation and degree of social participation. Marriage outside the caste is prohibited. Social status is determined by the caste of one's birth and may only rarely be transcended.

Empirically, the classical Hindu system of India approximated most closely to pure caste. The system existed for some 3,000 years and continues today despite many attempts to get rid of some of its restrictions. It is essentially connected with Hinduism.
