There was No caste system in Sanatan Hindu till Islamic Rule.
All the Scriptures including #Manusmriti upheld "Varna" not the Caste. Next time Any left, Islamic-Xtian Sponsored Intellect say about the Caste, slap this thread on his/her face.
(Contd...)
No where in Vedas mentioned "Caste" according to one's Birth {sic}
If "Varna" is static then there must not be any "code of conducts" for certain Varna. BUT there are code of conducts for 4 Varnas and the Varna Position is "Dynamic"
(Contd...)
In #Manusmriti the 2nd chapter sloka 37, 40, 103, 168; 4th chapter 258 Even In #SrimadBhagwatGita it clearly mentioned there no superiority & Inferiority according to their BIRTH.
(Contd...)
