$\red{\boxed{\ Varnas }}$

★ Varna is a sanskrit word with several meanings including type, order, colour, or class, was used to refer to social classes in Hindu texts like the Manusmriti. These and other Hindu texts classified the society in principle into four varnas :- Shudras :- laborers and service providers.

The four types of Varnas are following :-

• Shudras (Artisans and Workers)
• Vaishyas (Farmers, Merchants, and Business People)
• Kshatriyas (Warriors, Police, and Administrators)
• Brahmanas (Priests, Teachers, and Intellectuals)

★ Varna system is the social stratification based on the Varna, caste. Four basic categories are defined under this system - Brahmins (priests, teachers, intellectuals), Kshatriyas (warriors, kings, administrators), Vaishyas (agriculturalists, traders, farmers ) and Shudras (workers, labourers, artisans).

★ Classification of Varnas was not followed in all the part of the Indian sub-continent,especially in the areas as north east where priests were not very influential.
