The Indian Caste System traditionally comprises four main levels: Brahmins (priests and scholars) make up about 5-10% of the population, Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers) around 10-15%, Vaishyas (merchants and landowners) approximately 10-15%, and Shudras (laborers and service providers) about 50-60%. Additionally, there are many marginalized groups, often referred to as Dalits or "Untouchables," who represent around 15-20% of the population. These percentages can vary significantly based on region and social dynamics.
