Caste System

• Brahmin - Priests and learned people
• Vaishya - Farmers and merchants
• Sudra - Peasants and laborers
• Untouchables - Not even considered human by many; did the worst possible work and were separated from everyone else

The Caste System developed in South India and was brought by south Indians to the north. The rules of the Varnas (social division); the Varnas got stricter, then the social order became more complex. The rulers decided to divide the people into five groups, that's now called the caste system. 1.Brahmins were at the top because they were the priests. 2. Then it was the Kshatriyas because they were rulers and warriors. 3. Then it was the vaisyas which were the farmers and the traders. 4. Then it was the sudras which were workers and servants. 5. Lastly, it was the untouchables which used to do all the dirty work that people did not want to do like disposing dead animals.. Hoped it helped ;) - Emma-

ROY is a title given by the rajas and later by the british also to zamindars....it doesn't necessarily belong to one particular caste.its a title endowed on a brahmin,baidya,kayastha....even lower castes take up the surname roy to escape humiliation...so they may have any gotra depending on their caste.

Ojha gotra is not a gotra but a line of scholarship. It is associated with those families of brahmins who were trained in Atharvan lineage of knowledge, especially in the use of herbs to be used in yajnas and other practices which grossly appear to be occult. They were specialist in Atharvaveda.
