Editing Feudalism (section)

====[[File:Caste.png]] Caste====
Similarly to the European estates, Indian caste system divides the population into four distinct social classes with a set of rights and responsibilities - the varnas:

# Brahmins - priests, scholars and teachers.
# Kshatriyas - warriors, rulers, administrators.
# Vaishyas - farmers, traders, merchants.
# Shudras - labourers.

By properly fulfilling one's purpose in life, one may have a chance to be reincarnated into a higher varna. However, failing to do so or interacting with untouchables may lead one to become an untouchable (the very bottom, supposed to consist of janitors and other "impure" occupations).
