There is a centuries old attack on Varnasrama system which is
popular too. See,

on caste: a free English rendering with the text and an introduction
on the evolution of caste and notes with appendices.

There are some more literature registering protest and
citing ill-effects of Varnasrama dharma.
eg., Tamil siddhar poetry, Paayccaluur Pathikam,
Kulacangkaara maalai...,
