Shudra or Shoodra[1] is the lowest ranked of the four varnas of the Hindu caste system and social order in India.[2] [3] Various sources translate it into English as a caste,[3] or alternatively as a social class.[4]

The word Shudra appears in the Rig veda and it is found in other Hindu texts such as the Manusmriti, Arthashastra and Dharmashastras. Theoretically, Shudras have constituted the hereditary labouring class serving others.[5][6][7] In some cases, they participated in the coronation of kings, or were ministers and kings according to early Indian texts.
