Varna System was a traditional division of society based on the occupation of a person mostly on hereditary basis.
Varna system divided society into four:
Brahmins (priests, gurus, etc.)
Kshatriyas (warriors, kings, administrators, etc.)
Vaishyas (agriculturalists, traders, etc.),
Shudras (labourers, servants , slaves etc)
Example if a baby was born to a brahmin then he was considered as a high caste and powerful. And if he was born to a sweeper, he was considered as a shudra
It was a cruel practice followed in the past.
