    Not for foreigners, but for Indian yes they do have caste system, All India has caste system. Everyone says, there is no system, but everyone takes every care to see what caste you are from.

    Caste is everywhere. Christians have caste system. They call it differently. How many different christians are in this world? How many of them folllow pope? how many not? How many of them go to each other's chruches? How many untouchables are there in christianity?

    What is pentacoast, Marthoma, Suriyani, latin catholics? Catholics? Orthodox?

    Caste is a universal thing. If you have 10 people gather in a room they will start dividing them in few minutes.........it will grow as a caste,.

    I have a colored friend went to a white church and the priest refused to hug him.... he didn't even look at him.

    How many casts arethe re in Islam? What is Sunni and shia and mappila?

    Hindu is an ancient religion(no ! a way of life). In any Hindu books you will never find caste, but it is all formed by people who practiced it in a wrong way by using the political system prevailed in that time.

    Hare Krsna Hare Krsna
    Krsna Krsna Hare Hare
    Hare Rama Hare Rama
    Rama Rama Hare Hare


    ISKCON(Hare Krsna movement ) Belives that every one is part and parcel of Krsna so They see Krsna in everyone. They suffers from color blindness because they can't treat people with their colors(Black , brown and white etc). They Treat everyone same. No Bars for Indians , Americans or Jewish or Sikhs.

    But Still there are Four Castes didvided on basis of Their actions and Deeds.

    1> BRAHAMANS
    Who are in Mode of Goodness . vegeterian . Do good works and serves others in order to please Superme lord. Live simple and help others.

    2> KSHTRIYA
    Who are in Mode of Passions. Their main duty is to save Brahamans. and They eat vegeterian But spicy food.

    3> VAISHYA
    Who are in Mode of Passion + Mode of Ignorance. Their main Duty is to Provide Food , Clothes and other necessity to Kshtryia and Brahamans.

    4> SUDRAS
    Who are in Mode of IGNORANCE.


    In This Current ERA (Called as KALIYUGA) everyone is SUDRA .

    Bu one's Action One can be BRAHAMAN (Mode of Goodness).

    for more details read "BHAGVAD GITA AS IT IS by SRILA PRABHUPADA"
    U will be amazed by revealing truths.

    Yes the caste system exists even in the members of ISKCON who live and work at the temple in the UK. The caste system there is not the typical one that is seen throughout mainstream hinduism. In ISKCON the system is based upon the work carried out at the temple. From cleaning the outside area of the temple to serving the deities themselves. But this takes years of dedication and high disciplined actions and if the highest gurus appoint the person then they can rise to the top.

    Krishna doesn't have any kind of caste systems, selfish people who have created caste for money, status and trying to keep away from lower caste, poor and Innocent people. Lord Krishna, treats everybody the equally. Is any religion book says that humans are different and have different colors of blood? any religions books mentions about any caste? if yes, that means there's no god exists then? God treats everybody equally. I seen lots of people, naming on god then they cheat, steal and lie to innocent people for money.
