In the Hindu social system the concept of ‘varna’ has deeply influenced the interpretation of the “ethnographic reality” of caste. Varna has been the model to which the observed facts have been fitted. The ‘Varna’ is a complex term. The layman is unaware of its complexities. To him it means simply the division of Hindu society into four groups, viz., Brahmana, (Brahmin, traditionally priest and scholar), Kshatriya (ruler and soldier), Vaishya (merchant) and Shudra (Peasant, labourer and servant).
