The Sanskrit jāti literally means “birth” but covers a range of meanings depending on the context. In general it denotes a “kind” or “sort” of something, and in describing the natural world it refers to different “species” of animals or plants, each born with specific distinguishing characteristics. In regard to the human world the term is used to broadly designate the tribe or ethnic group into which one is born. In a more restricted sense, the term jāti is used in the brahmanical caste system to refer to separate “castes,” whose members have fixed inborn characteristics by which they are placed within (or outside) one of the four larger caste categories known as varṇa (“color”).
