Answer: Next to Brahmans are the Kshatriyas in varna ranking. They comprise very powerful castes as they are traditionally warriors and play a major role in defence. However, the role of defence is now largely submerged under the rule of land ownership.

Explanation:
Early Rigvedic tribal monarchy
The administrative machinery in the Vedic India was headed by a tribal king called Rajan whose position was not hereditary.[citation needed]The king was elected in a tribal assembly (called Samiti) which included women.[citation needed]The Rajan protected the tribe and cattle; was assisted by a priest; and did not maintain a standing army, though in the later period the rulership appears to have risen as a social class. The concept of the fourfold varna system is not yet recorded.[3]
