Criticism of Hinduism refers to the practices and beliefs held by Hindus which have been criticized both by Hindus and non-Hindus. ==Social structure ==
The caste system in India and Nepal has existed for centuries. It is described as a hierarchical, endogamous and closed system of jatis that assigned people different classes in society. Hindu scriptures however state that caste system is not hierarchical but based on the person's character, knowledge and work.〔"()" by Jeaneane Fowler p. 19-20]〕 Caste-based identification is unique to Indian society and it is also found among Indian Christians, Indian Muslims and Sikhs. Systems similar to Indian caste system can be found in other parts of the world, like Songbun of North Korea,〔Barbara Demick, ''Nothing to Envy: Love, Life and Death in North Korea,'' Fourth Estate, London, 2010, pp 26-27.〕 and Hukou of China.〔"China's New Confucianism: Politics and Everyday Life in a Changing Society" by Daniel A. Bell, p. 186, quote = "From a liberal democratic perspective in other words, the hukou system is the functional equivalent of a caste system that marks a group of people as second-class citizens just because they were unlucky enough to be born in the countryside."〕 When the British started to classify castes for the purpose of colonial administration, caste associations were secularized.〔"(Religion, Caste, and Politics in India )", by Christophe Jaffrelot, p. 450〕
