From these it could be easily inferred that people in ancient India were grouped together in different communities according to their habits and notions of right and wrong, and became located in different centres according to their professional, social, and domestic convenience, in contrast with the present class division in the West by colour, wealth, or power. In India profession and caste system have been insuperably linked together, and it was therefore natural to believe a man belonging to a caste invariably following the profession of that caste. This went a long way to avoid party feelings, conflict of labour and capital, cut-throat competition, and tended to promote peace and good-will among the community at large.
