The Social division of Indian society into four classes or castes is known as Varnashrama.
The name of these four varnas or castes are : Brahman, Kshatriya, vaishya and shudra.
Explanation:
'Varnas' and ' ashramas ' are two different concepts.
While the 'varnas' refer to the caste system in the Vedic period. The society was divided into four castes- the Brahman, Kshatriya, vaishya and shudra. The varnas were formed based on the occupation of the people which was hereditary in nature.
The Brahmans occupied the top position and performed all the rituals.
The Kshatriyas were a warring class who occupied the second class and protected their kingdom from any external attacks.
The Vaishyas were farmers, traders and businessmen.
The shudras occupied the lowest strata of the society and were supposed to do all the menial work.
