In gita, god says he has divided people into 4 varnas based on gunas.
Gunas are
1, Satvika - People who are not bothered about materialistic life leading a ascetic life. They were called brahmins. Brahmin is one who knows Brahman or god.
2, Rajasic - People who want power. They want land and wealth. Kshatriyas and vaishyas belonged to that.
3, Tamasic - People who are sloth, lazy, enjoying with women and drink all the time. Shudras belonged to that.
Bhagavt gita cleary says this. There were lot of hindu saints who has explained better than me what casteism in Hinduim is. It is never by birth.
How can u blame the religion for people's folliness.

Adhi shankaracharya, Swami Vivekananda, Sree Narayana Guru, Annamacharya,... all the hindu saints have said the same thing. Fedual kings want an order in the society, so they never took any action against people who did not follow it correctly. Why wud english bother about it? They cud have banned it when india got independence, but the politicians are increasing for vote bank.
