The Caste System developed in South India and was brought by south Indians to the north. The rules of the Varnas (social division); the Varnas got stricter, then the social order became more complex. The rulers decided to divide the people into five groups, that's now called the Caste System. 1.Brahmins were at the top because they were the priests. 2. Then it was the Kshatriyas because they were rulers and warriors. 3. Then it was the vaisyas which were the farmers and the traders. 4. Then it was the sudras which were workers and servants. 5. Lastly, it was the untouchables which used to do all the dirty work that people did not want to do like disposing dead animals.. Hoped it helped ;) - Emma-
