In a caste stratification system, an individual’s position depends on the status attributes ascribed by birth. Each position in the caste structure is defined in terms of its ‘purity and pollution’. The individual who gets a social strata by birth can never change it in one’s lifetime. There is no scope for social mobility. Therefore, caste is closed form of social stratification.
