Answer 1

The varnas, or social classes in ancient Indian society, are traditionally ordered from highest to lowest status as follows:

1. Brahmins (priests and scholars)
2. Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers)
3. Vaishyas (merchants and landowners)
4. Shudras (laborers and service providers)

This classification is part of the larger caste system in India.
