1..Why would each varna approve / disapprove of the caste system?

· Each varna has a different opinion on the caste system. For example, the Brahmins would approve of the caste system as it would ensure their positions as permanent leaders. But for the Pariahs, they would disapprove because it would take a long time for them to move up in the society, if they could be within the society. In short, the upper caste would approve of the caste system because they would secure their position and ensure power but for the lower caste, they would always be looked down upon because they cannot change their positions in the system,change into a higher, more powerful caste.

1. 2.What makes it fair/ unfair?

· The system is unfair because if there were more capable people to rule the country in the lower class, they would not able to rule due to the fact that the system is rigid and inflexible meaning that they would not be able to change their position and lead the country to the right path.

3. 3. Would it be possible to apply the caste system to Singapore?

No it would not be possible because Singapore is a multi racial country and regardless of race, language or religion, everyone in Singapore has a right to be respected and not looked down upon. Applying the system means dividing Singapore and that should not be the case because Singaporeans should work together as one to defend and make Singapore a better place to live in.
