The Caste System is a hierarchical social structure traditionally associated with Hindu society in India, dividing people into groups based on occupational roles and social status. It consists of four primary categories, known as varnas: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (traders and agriculturists), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). This system is maintained by cultural norms, religious beliefs, and social practices, leading to rigid boundaries and limited social mobility. Despite legal abolishment, the caste system's influence persists in various facets of Indian life.
