In India, general castes, often referred to as "forward castes," typically include communities that are not classified as Scheduled Castes (SC), Scheduled Tribes (ST), or Other Backward Classes (OBC). These castes are generally considered to have higher social and economic status and have historically enjoyed more privileges and access to resources. Some examples include Brahmins, Kshatriyas, and Vaishyas, though the specific classification can vary by region. The term "general caste" is used in the context of affirmative action policies and social equity discussions.
