These ethnic formations have their genesis in occupation. The social hierarchy is rigid. Brahmins the first in hierarchy are strict vegetarians, practice education and teach life matters. Kshatriyas are the rulers and take the job of protecting people by way of administration. They stand next to Brahmins. The third in social hierarchy are Vysyas. They are business people and trade is their main occupation. Dr. Ambedkar worked for the eradication of this social ostracization.
