Many jātis found today in India readily parallel those in the most ancient Hindu texts, indicating that these social groupings have continued uninterrupted since pre-historic times. An important text, the Laws Of Manu , c. 200, codified the social relations between caste groups. It is believed that the jāti system ossified from an original occupation-based classification into a hereditary classification with attendant rules forbidding marriage between jātis.
