- 2. Bhramin (Priests, academics)
- 6. Untouchables (street sweepers, latrine cleaners)
- 1. Gods
- 4. Vaishya (Landowners, Merchants)

- They couldn't change their place in the caste system
- Ideas underlying the caste system were purity and pollution
- animal waste/dead bodies were considered polluting- closer you worked near these the lower caste you were
- To protect the purity of the higher castes- everyone was separate as possible
