The caste duties of Bhagavad Gita emphasize that death is inevitable, so it is more important to just do your job and not worry about it. It highly emphasizes death before dishonor, and that trying to cower away from a fight or not fighting as bravely as one can will lose the respect of their peers and enemies, which will also lead to only more sin. It teaches that upon death a heaven is entered, and that the perished are the victorious. It also teaches that as long as the individual gives their best effort, the fact of winning or losing the battle is irrelevant.
Zoroastrianism teaches similar concepts in the overall idea of "karma", that if good things are done by a person then good will come to that person. However, Zoroastrianism emphasizes more free will, or the ethical choices a person makes. The caste duties emphasize more a structured life and people "knowing their place" in whatever role they play in society. As long as they carry out their role to their best ability, they will be honored. The teachings of Confucianism have similarities again relating to people doing good, but is much more structured and requires the leadership of a sage for guidance. Also, Confucianism does not address religious aspects of heaven and the afterlife the way the caste system highlights it. Confucianism focuses on bringing out the good in people through a structured life to better themselves, whereas the Caste teachings are more focused on doing a job honorably and dying before dishonoring oneself and having an unpleasant afterlife. All three teachings are similar in their overall concepts, but because they arose from different parts of the world were different issues were present, there are obviously going to be some differences.
