Explanation:

India is well known for its caste system. Based off a person's birth, he could be a peasant or royalty. Just because a person is born inside the four walls of a nice house, automatically puts him at an advantage, compared to the person born in a mud hut. In addition, there is usually no advancement in the caste system. Whatever 'rank' you were born to, you usually stay in for your whole life.
