India's traditional Caste System is divided into four main classes, known as varnas. These are:

  1. Brahmins – priests and teachers, responsible for religious rituals and the study of sacred texts.
  2. Kshatriyas – warriors and rulers, tasked with protection and governance.
  3. Vaishyas – merchants and landowners, involved in agriculture, commerce, and trade.
  4. Shudras – laborers and service providers, who perform various forms of manual work and support the other three classes.

Additionally, there are communities outside these four varnas, often referred to as "Dalits" or "Untouchables," historically marginalized and facing social discrimination.
