1)The jobs that Vaishyas have are farmers, traders, and merchants.
2)They are head because they are the most important people and the head is really important.
3)They are the arms because kshatriyas are the second most important caste.
4)The Viashyes are the legs because they are not that important and their a low caste. The legs are at the bottom of your body. 5) I believe the shudras are the feet beacuase your feet get steped on and the people on the top castes step on them and treat the shudras very badley.
6)I think the untouchables are seprate because the other people like the brahmins want to outcast them and treat them bad. Even worse than how they treat the shudras and the vaishya. The untouchables did something really bad and they are gettting punished.
7)People would want to change caste sometimes to get treated better of to do a job they have wanted to do.

1) Vaishya work is farmers,traders and merchants.2)Brahims
are the head because they are priest and teacher.
3)Kshatriyas are the hands because they are warriors and rulers 4) Vaishya are the legs because they are the 3 third richer person.5) Shudras are the feet because they are labourer. 6) The untouchables are separate because they have different color skin.7) they wanet to move cases because they could be trided more nicely and more privileges.
