Castes in Pakistan
The social stratification among Muslims in the "Swat" area of North Pakistan has been meaningfully compared to the Caste system in India. The society is rigidly divided into subgroups where each Quom is assigned a profession. Different Quoms are not permitted to intermarry or live in the same community. These Muslims practice a ritual-based system of social stratification. The Quoms who deal with human emissions are ranked the lowest.
Lower castes are often persecuted by the upper castes. A particularly infamous example of such incidents is that of Mukhtaran Mai in Pakistan, a low caste woman who was gang raped by upper caste men.
Stephen M. Lyon of University of Kent has written about what he calls "Gujarism", the act of Gujjars in Pakistan seeking out other Gujjars to form associations, and consolidate ties with them, based strictly on caste affiliation.

lolzz cast system in Swat? spare us of bharti wiki Bull .Shyt.
Some idiots talking about quom in Pukhtuns lolzzzz. we have tribes in Pukhtuns that is branches of same Pukhtun pool and NO one is untouchable among us. All pukhtun tribes can pray at one Mosque all Muslims from all tribes are allowed to pray at one mosque unlike Hindus' cast plague where lower cast Hindus are considered untouchables
get a life the Hindu cast system is based on religion and untouchability whereas there is No cast system in Islam.
Replace "Caste System" with "Shia-Sunni-Ahmadiyya-Ismaili Problem", and "India" with "Pakistan" (Please don't take offense!)
See...both countries have big problems to take care of in the 21st century.

First of all the Indians are trying to justify the hindu cast system which is inhuman and divide human rights on the basis of this silly notion just for monopoly of few. Secondly this thread is about hindu cast system not Pakistan but still if you want to hide behind such notions of bringing sects into this then FYI
Shia Sunni sects in Islam are not Untouchable. Their human rights are the same and they can sit together,eat together and pray together.
unlike hinduism where lower casts are considered untouchables

What about Pakistani Hindus,sikhs?
They live in the Islamic Republic of Prakristan
Do they get acceptance as a Pakistani?
I believe NO.
The word Islamic in Pakistan's full name is itself a living testament of discrimination against minorities in Pakistan.
And it looks wierd when the same Pakistanis are pointing towards India's caste system.
