A caste system is a social class system or like a pyramid going from the the top the highest caste, and down to the bottom being the lowest caste. One group called the "Untouchables" were not included in the caste system because they did dirty occupations and were poor. In Ayran times, they had divided their society into four occupational classes. By PTA times, many additional castes and subcastes had evolved because invaders were absorbed into Indian society and formed new castes. After the Aryans, major castes numbered in the hundreds, with thousand of minor or local subcastes.

The four social classes that emerged in Aryan society were the Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (traders and farmers), and Shudras (laborers and servants).

Aryan society was traditionally divided into three different groups or classes. The Aryans called their different classes varnasvarnas:The Aryan word for its social class groups.. By 1000 BC, as the Aryans migrated into the Indian subcontinent, a fourth, subordinate group emerged for those native peoples who were captured and enslaved.

The origins of the caste system in Aryan society can be traced back to ancient Vedic texts, such as the Rigveda. The Aryan society gradually stratified into four main varnas or social classes based on occupation and hereditary divisions. Over time, this system became more rigid and hierarchical, leading to the development of a complex, birth-based caste system that determined a person's social status and occupation.
In Aryan society, sacrifice played a central role in religious and social practices, serving as a means of worship and communication with deities. It was believed that sacrifices, often involving offerings of food, animals, or rituals, were essential for maintaining cosmic order and securing prosperity for the community. These acts also reinforced social hierarchies and the authority of priestly classes, as they were often the mediators between the divine and the people. Overall, sacrifices were integral to both spiritual and social cohesion in Aryan culture.
