What is the difference between caste based and tribal society?

Answer:

Caste based society was divided according to the rules of the varna. The Brahmans occupied the dominant position and the Shudras were at the bottom rung of the social hierarchy. Tribal societies were egalitarian. They did not follow the varna system and there was equality. No caste or caste division existed. They did not follow the rules and customs of the Brahmanas.
