The five major classes in Indian society (from top to bottom) would be the Brahmin (or priests), Kshatryia (warriors and kings), Vaisya (merchants and landowners), Sudra (or peasants and servants.  Finally, the class that has been kicked out of Indian society are called untouchables.  They often have the worst of the worst jobs and are a disgrace.
