Varna is the term for the four broad ranks by birth into which traditional Hindu society is divided. The four varnas are, in order of precedence,

  1. the Brahmins: priests and scholars.
  2. the Kshatriya: kings, governors, warriors and soldiers.
  3. the Vaishyas: cattle herders, agriculturists, artisans and merchants.
  4. the Shudras: laborers and service providers.
