The caste system is essentially based on the Hindu moral code. Their moral code is to worship, be kind to others, and not touch an untouchable. If one follows these rules one will receive good karma. Karma is basically how many "points" one gets at the end of life for stuff done in life. The system is quite simple in theory. If you are good- you get good points and vice versa for bad. Depending on one's karma, one can move up or down the caste system. Once one ascends the caste system they will go to heaven.
