    The four main groups are Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and the Shudras, which many believe originated from the Hindu God of Creation Brahma.

    Brahmins - mainly teachers and intellectuals that are believed to have come from the head of Brahma and are at the top of the hierarchy

    Kshatriyas - the warriors and rulers, who are said to come from Brahma's arms

    Vaishyas - the traders, who came from the thighs of Brahma

    Shudras - did all the menial jobs and came from Brahma's feet

    there are also around 3,000 other groups and 25,000 sub-groups

    There is also the untouchables who did all the dirty work

    This work included tasks such as cleaning up after funerals, dealing with sewage, and working with animal skin

    this group has become more politically active and adopted the name Dalits, meaning "those who have been broken."

    The groups are segregated
