Who were Jatis? How did they come into existence?

Posted on Updated on

Jatis were the social groups that were created for the community involved in similar occupations or activities. Whenever a community does not fit into the Varna system, they were organised in a Jati. For example, people involved in the profession related to gold came to be known as the Suvarnakara.
