1. varna

   Varna is a Sanskrit term referring to the four major social classes in traditional Hindu society: the Brahmins (priests, scholars), the Kshatriyas (warriors, kings), the Vaishyas (traders, merchants), and the Shudras (laborers, servants). This system, also known as Varna system, is believed to be divine in origin and is deeply rooted in Hindu scriptures. It forms the basis of the caste system in India, though it has been largely criticized and considered discriminatory.
