Q1) Why would each Varna approve/disapprove of the caste system?
Answer: The upper class would approve as they want to retain their positions in the higher class while the lower classes would disapprove as they would never have a chance to rise to the upper class even they had worked hard.
Q2)What makes it fair or unfair?
Answer: It is unfair beacuase people from the lower classes have no choice to choose over their fate,no matter how talented and useful they are.It is also very unfair as some of the people from the upper class maybe untalented and lazy,yet they can live lives of luxury.
Q3)Would it be possible to apply the caste system in Singapore?
Answer: It is not possible because Singapore is a multi-racial society and it would lead to disastrous consequences if the caste system was applied.
