The caste system is the dominant and ruling philosophy of Hinduism, directly linking power and social order. The caste system is the oldest surviving social phenomenon in the world. The inherent superiority of some castes and the inferiority of others is one of Hinduism’s central elements, and when a person is born into a particular caste, it is not possible to change one’s caste to another. Nepalese society functions under this rigid caste system, and there are four major castes that have been “fixed” into two basic social characteristics; the so-called “touchable” and the so-called “untouchable”.

The dominant social orders of the “touchables” are violating the most basic goal of society to guarantee security & happiness for people known as Dalit.
