Hey mate, here is your answer:-)
Originally Answered: What is the Varna system?
In ancient India society was based upon the varna (class/colour) in which people were classified into four classes(varna) with relation to their aptitude and vocation.
Four orders of society were recognized based upon the four duties of human beings and established society accordingly.
These four groups were
1) The Brahmins, the priests or spiritual class.
2) The Kshatriya, the nobility or ruling class.
3) The Vaishya, the merchants and farmers.
4) The Shudras or servants.
These four orders of society were called "varna", which has two meanings; first it means "color"; and second it means a "veil". As color it does not refer to the color of the skin of people, but to the qualities or energies of human nature. As a veil it shows the four different ways in which the Divine Self is hidden in human beings.
HOPE it helps to you!!!

Varna system is extensively discussed in Dharma-sastras. The Varna System in Dharma-sastras divides society into four Varnas (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishya and Shudras). Those who fall out of this system because of their grievous sins are ostracised as outcastes (untouchables) and considered outside the Varna System
