Caste Hindu is a term used to describe the traditional Hindu social system in India. It is divided into four distinct classes, or varnas: BRAHMAN (7 letters), Kshatriya (8 letters), Vaishya (7 letters), and Sudra (5 letters). The BRAHMAN class is the highest and most respected, while the Sudra class is the lowest and least respected. Within each of these classes are further divisions known as jatis, or sects (4 letters). These sects are based on occupation, region, and other factors.
