The caste system divides the people of India into 5 groups:                                          -Branhnins are priest and teachers
-Kshatriyas are warriors and rulers
-vaishyas are farmers and, traders, and merchants
-shudras are labourers
-the untouchables are street sweepers and latrine cleaners
