Indian (Hindu) Caste divisions broadly speaking are

1) Brahmin - Highest caste of priests and scholars

2) Kshatriya - Warrior

3) Vaishya - Trader / business class

4) Shudras - untouchables (lowest caste)

Outside these 4 castes are the un-humans.

This is a controversial answer, but essentially true, and sure to be vandalised.
