untouchables
brahmin
Answer:
1- Brahmin
2- Vaishya
3- Sundra
4- Untouchables
Explanation:
1- Brahmins are members of the highest caste of Hindu society. They adhere to occupations and professions that were provided for by their varna. For many centuries scribes, clerks, clergy, scholars, teachers and officials came out of their midst. As early as the first half of the 20th century, in some areas, Brahmins occupied up to 75% of all more or less important government posts. They make up about 2-5% of the population of India.
2- Vaishya are the representatives of the third most important varna of the ancient Indian society, consisting of farmers, merchants, shopkeepers and money-lenders.
The traditional occupation of Vaishyas is trade and banking, they tend to stay away from physical labor, but sometimes they are involved in managing the farms of landowners and village entrepreneurs without directly participating in the cultivation of land.
3- Sundra is, according to the Hindu caste system, the lowest of the four classes of Indian social order practiced since ancient times.
Unlike the higher classes, shudras are traditionally excluded from important parts of religious life and do not have the right to undergo the rite that initiates the study of the sacred scriptures. Even today, the majority of sundras are body workers.
4- The Untouchables is the common name for a number of castes that occupy the lowest place in the caste hierarchy of India. The untouchables make up 16-17% of the population of India (more than 200 million people). Similar communities are found in the rest of South Asia, in Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, and are part of the global Indian diaspora.
