Ancient Indian matrimony has been subdivided into four castes namely: Shudras (Non- touchable), Vaishyas (The business individuals), The Brahmins (elites) and the Kshatriyas (The warriors). For many years these classes have always been followed. If you were born in a single caste, you must live and retain the caste identity for a lifetime.
