Caste System of India

This vast country is home to 1 billion people whose lives have


been governed by the Hindu caste system for over 3,000 years.
These four castes are said to have come from Brahma's
mouth/head (Brahmin), arms (Kshatriyas), thighs (Vaisyas)
and feet (Sudras). At the top are the Brahmins, the priests,
who decide what is right and wrong in matters of religion and

administrators. The Vaisyas are the artisan and commercial
class, followed by the Sudras, who are the farmer and peasant
class.
