Caste System | MCQs

Explanation

The caste system in the Indian subcontinent was first established by the Aryans, who arrived in the region around 1500 BCE.

They created a social hierarchy with four varnas (classes):

1. Brahmins (priests and scholars)
2. Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers)
3. Vaishyas (merchants and traders)
4. Shudras (labourers and servants)
