The Caste System in India is traditionally divided into four main layers, known as varnas. These are: the Brahmins (priests and teachers), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (traders and agriculturalists), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). Outside of these four varnas are the Dalits, formerly referred to as "untouchables," who have historically faced social discrimination. This hierarchical structure has significantly influenced social interactions, occupational roles, and community relationships in India.
