The Varna System is an ancient social classification in India, traditionally divided into four main categories: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (traders and agriculturists), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). This system was originally based on occupational roles and was intended to promote social order and harmony.
Over time, the Varna System became more rigid and hierarchical, leading to the emergence of the caste system. This transformation often resulted in social discrimination and inequality, affecting millions of people in India. The Varna System's influence can still be seen in contemporary Indian society, despite efforts to promote equality and social justice.
