the caste system
The Indian caste system was divided into five different classes (varnas): Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, Shudras and Dalits (the "Untouchables", who were excluded from the caste system all together) The Brahmins were the priestly class that focused primarily on reading the religious scriptures (Vedas). Today the caste system is illegal in India, but those born into the Brahmin caste are still venerated and given privileges.
India has been infested with caste system since the British invaded. All castes to save their faiths and beliefs tried to save themselves in this manner but the British took advantage of the sectionalism and the caste system went deep into the Indian politics. It has severely affected the Indian politics all these years but now with better education and development its effect is wading
The Sudras is the 5th class of the Caste System.
Yes it was the lowest class in the caste system
The caste system is considered a fixed social class system because it is a hereditary system where individuals are born into a particular caste and their social status is predetermined based on their caste. Movement between castes is traditionally not allowed, resulting in fixed social stratification.

So..... you wanna know how the Indian caste system is different to the American class system. Here, I'll help you. The Indian caste system, or varna came about when the Aryans began speaking nomadic groups came to India about 1500 BC. The Aryan priests divided society into a caste system with four parts. The priests( Brachmins) were the highest varna, the second caste was Kshatriyas, or rulers and warriors. Third in ran was the vaisyas( farmers, craftspeople and traders.) and the lowest ranking was the sudras and they were the workers and servants. People couldn't change their caste. They had to marry and socialize with people from their own caste. In the United States class is determined by how much wealth you have, not usually by your occupation. The 3 classes are upper class, middle class, and lower class. Most Americans fall into middle class or lower class with the very wealthiest people in the upper class. In American society, you aren't forced into one class. Our system is not based on religion like the caste system is. Hope that answers your question!! And i hope somebody answer the question to this. Compare the Indian caste system to the American class system.
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.
