Why is the caste system introduced by Jayasthiti Malla considered as a social reform in Nepal?

The Caste System introduced by Jayasthiti Malla in the 14th century is considered a social reform in Nepal because it aimed to organize society into a structured hierarchy that provided a sense of order and stability. By formalizing caste divisions, it sought to regulate social interactions and responsibilities, which helped to reduce social chaos during a time of political fragmentation. This system also allowed for the establishment of distinct roles and occupations, contributing to economic specialization and cultural identity within communities. However, it also entrenched social inequalities that persist to this day.
