Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -’Varna’ signifies the colour, kind, order, or class of individuals and specifies their ancestral roots. Brahmins (priests, gurus, etc.), Kshatriyas (warriors, kings, administrators, etc.), Vaishyas (agriculturalists, traders, etc., sometimes known as Vysyas), and Shudras (labourers) are the four main types.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
