Caste/class System is very well described in the "Brave New Word" by Aldous Huxley. The interesting part of the book is that he named the drug  SOMA to make the Epislons- the fifth letter of the Greek alaphabet-The untouchables - also the fifth caste in Hinduism- to feel better about themselves. He visited India in 1925 and wrote the above book in four months in 1931

 

The ironic part of using the name Soma is that it is also used in Gurbani "Som Rus" as Gurmat Amrit.
