Now the problem we have is that the ones who would have come into Islam have (some of them) changed their castes to something else out of shame I guess so much so it becomes very difficult to bifurcate between the people of lower castes who became muslims. Secondly in our villages we have some castes like nai, lohaar etc (based upon their profession) who form the different layers of the social fabric.

The vedic system of castes too was based on professions not just birth. A father usually taught his son and he in turn taught his son, just like present day family-owned businesses. The vedic system of caste division is in fact the first school that taught some of the so called HR (Human Resources) jargon like ‘Organizational hierarchy’, ‘Organizational behaviour’, ‘team building’, ‘job profiles’, etc to the world.
