The Nayak caste in Odisha, India, is traditionally associated with agricultural and warrior roles. They are often considered a sub-caste of the Kshatriyas, the warrior class in the Indian caste system. Historically, Nayaks have been involved in landownership and military service, but their social status can vary across different regions. In contemporary society, they engage in various professions, reflecting a shift away from traditional roles.
