These are:
Brahamanas - The brahamanas belonged to the educated priestly class. They were the scholars who performed religious rites and imparted education to pupils.
Kshatriyas - The kshatriyas were the warrior class who protected their respective tribes from outside attacks.
Vaishyas - The class of vaishyas included farmers, traders and craftsmen who provided for the food and other requirements of the people.
