Caste System in Hindu Society: Historical Views and Modern ChallengesThe “varna vyavastha” or caste system is a hierarchical division of people into different groups based on their birth, occupation and social status . There are four main categories under this traditional varna system:

  • Brahmins (Priests): They belong to highest varna who perform priestly duties such as conducting rituals, studying scriptures etc.
  • Kshatriyas (Warriors): This class includes warriors responsible for protecting society against external aggression and ruling kingdoms internally.
  • Vaishyas (Merchants): Members of business community engaged mainly in wealth creation through trade activities like agriculture among others.
  • Shudras (Servants): Labourers performing manual tasks considered inferior by other higher castes; they serve those above them.
