Even though they are divided by class, Hinduism says that a person is made up of a Maya, or a more physical form, and the central Atman, which is the aspect of Brahman within them. I think what's happening is they recognize that everyone is fundamentally a part of Brahman and therefore interconnected, but the Maya is the part that is being divided into a caste. It can be considered a lesson that even if people are divided by caste, they are still one Brahman. Recognizing that even if people are different, they are still part of one central existence, is an important teaching in Hinduism. Hope this helped! Please comment if I got anything wrong. Thanks for reading! You are born into your caste. It cannot be changed except hypothetically by reincarnation. Since there is no evidence to support it, it remains a social tradition that some people are considered superior to others. Accordingly, anyone who is an "outsider" is Dalit by default, unless declared to be another caste by those of that caste or their superiors.

For example, The Brahmins are the people who have evolved throughout their lives to a point of being near or having achieved a state of true Brahman acceptance, whereas the Dalit may be people who have shunned the system or who have committed crimes or do not have the same faith as the others.

varna, Sanskrit varṇa, any one of the four traditional social classes of India. Although the literal meaning of the word varna (Sanskrit: “colour”) once invited speculation that The varnas have been known since a hymn in the purusha). Males of the first three varnas are “twice-born” ( dvija): after undergoing the ceremony of spiritual rebirth ( caste: Varnas The system of the four classes ( caturvarnya) is fundamental to the views the traditional lawgivers held of society. They specified a different set of obligations for each: the task of the Brahman is to study and advise, the baron to protect, the Vaishya to jati) is explained as the result of hypergamous and hypogamous alliances between the four classes and their descendants. The inclusion of the Shudra into the four- varna system bestowed on them a measure of dignity. A move to accommodate still others not so distinguished led to the rather unofficial acceptance of a fifth class, the pancama (Sanskrit: “fifth”), which include the “ avarna (“classless”). In modern times, traditional Hindus, awakened to the varna system to be fundamental to the good society, have often advocated a return to this clear-cut varna system by reforming castes. Individual castes, in turn, have sought to raise their social rank by identifying with a particular varna and demanding its privileges of rank and honour.
