Answer:

The four castes of the Gupta society included priests, merchants, peasants and warriors.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gupta society was divided by the ancient Hindu caste system:

1- Brahmins: religious authorities (priestly caste).

2- Kshatriyas: civil and military authorities.

3- Vaishyas: landowners, ranchers, farmers and merchants.

4- Shudras: inferior caste, to which the slaves and peasants belonged (although they could be killed, they could not be sold or occupied in "impure" jobs, destined for the chandalas).

Outside the caste system were the untouchables or pariah, called Chandalas: they were hunters, sweepers and corpse incinerators.
