The Aryan Caste System, known as Varna, was a hierarchical social structure in ancient India, comprising four main categories: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants and landowners), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). This system was rigid, with individuals born into a caste determining their social status and occupational roles. Over time, it evolved into a more complex system of jatis, or sub-castes, further stratifying society. The caste system deeply influenced social interactions and cultural practices in Indian society.

Feudalism was a medieval European system in which land was exchanged for military service, creating a hierarchical society based on loyalty and land ownership. The Aryan caste system, in contrast, was a social structure in ancient India that divided society into rigid hereditary groups, with one's caste determining their occupation and social status. Unlike feudalism, the caste system was based on birth and mandated limited social mobility.
India's caste system is a complex social hierarchy based on birth, with individuals belonging to specific hereditary social categories, whereas the Aryan social class system was a simpler division into four main groups - Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors), Vaishyas (merchants), and Shudras (laborers). The caste system in India is more rigid and stratified compared to the Aryan social class system.

it is the "social pyramid" if ancient India I think.
In Aryan society, the highest class is traditionally known as the Brahmins. They are regarded as the priestly and scholarly elite, responsible for religious rituals, teachings, and maintaining sacred knowledge. This social structure is part of the broader caste system in ancient India, which categorizes individuals into specific roles and duties based on their birth and occupation. The Brahmins held significant social and spiritual authority, influencing various aspects of life in Aryan culture.
