Caste was not a division by sex but by hereditary social order. High or low born people could be of either sex. The Caste System most often thought of in using the term is that in place in India. In that system the castes were:

  • Brahmins: Priests, scholars and teachers
  • Kshatriyas: Warriors, administrators and law enforcers
  • Vaishyas: Agriculturists, cattle raisers and traders
  • Sudras: Service providers and artisans
  • Panchama : Outcastes or the untouchables
