Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sudras are the lowest rank of the Caste System. They are normally artisans and laborers. A large portion of this caste is a product of the mating of an upper caste and an Untouchable or a Sudra. Ancient texts support the claim that Sudras exist to serve the other three castes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Four principal categories are defined: Brahmins (priests, gurus, etc.), Kshatriyas (warriors, kings, administrators, etc.), Vaishyas (agriculturalists, traders, etc., also called Vysyas), and Shudras (labourers).

Detailed explanation-3: -Sudra is a Sanskrit word that is associated with meaning “not knowledgeable.” Unlike the members of the three higher varnas, the Sudra are prevented from performing upanayana, a rite that begins the study of the sacred Vedas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Vaishya (Sanskrit: , vaiśya) is one of the four varnas of the Hindu social order in ancient India. Vaishyas are classed third in the order of Varna hierarchy. The occupation of Vaishyas consists mainly of agriculture, taking care of cattle, trade and other business pursuits.

Detailed explanation-5: -This system is called the caste system. Caste members lived, ate, married, and worked with their own group. A person born into one caste rarely changed castes or mixed with members from other castes. There were some Indian people who did have the opportunity to join higher castes, but this was pretty rare.
