Four
main castes were prevalent in India in those days- Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas
and Shudras.
Brahmans and Kshatriyas considered themselves as
“upper castes”. Traders and moneylenders were called Vaisyas. Peasants, weavers
and potters were called Shudras.
At the lowest rung were people who laboured to
keep cities and villages clean. They were treated as “untouchable”. They were
not allowed to enter temples, draw water from the wells used by the upper
castes, or bathe in ponds where upper castes bathed. They were seen as inferior
human beings.
