The Caste System:
Brahmins--The "upper class"; educated people who traditionally were the priestly class.
Kshatriyas--warriors and politicians; also includes administrators. These people were originally the royal classes; kings, etc.
Vaishyas--farmers and merchants
Shudras--common laborers
There are also the "outcastes"--people outside these four classes and treated as the lowest people; these include Muslims, people who tan cowhide leather, or do society's "dirty work". Civil rights movements focus on protecting these people's rights.

The Kshatriyas were the ruling people who defended the subjects. The Vaisyas were the traders and the lowest rung was the Shudras who consisted of labourers and farmers or the working people.
