The caste system in Kerala differed from that found in the rest of India. While the Indian Caste System generally modelled the four-fold division of society into Brahmins, Kshatriyas,Vaisyas and Shudras, in Kerala the Nambudiri Brahmins formed the priestly class and only rarely recognized anyone else as being other than Shudra or untouchables outside the caste system entirely. Thus, the Kerala caste system was ritualised but it was not the varnamodel found elsewhere.
