Each class is further sub-divided into a multitude of castes. The term 'Caste Hindu' is used to refer to these four main classes.Lamb 2002 7 The Dalits (also known as Mahars and Harijans)Lamb 2002 7 were traditionally outside of caste system and can now be said to form a fifth group of castes. The first three Varnas in the hierarchy are said to be dvija (twice-born). They are called twice born on account of their education and these three castes are allowed to wear the sacred thread. These three castes are called the Brahmins, the Kshatriyas and the Vaishyas. The traditional caste-based occupations are priesthood for the Brahmins, ruler or warrior for the Kshatriyas and businessman or farmer for the Vaishyas. The fourth caste is called the Shudras and their traditional occupation is that of a labourer or a servant. While this is the general scheme all over India, it is difficult to fit all modern facts into it.Farquhar 2008 162–164 These traditional social and religious divisions in the caste system have lost their significance for many contemporary Indians except for marriage alliances.Lamb 2002 7 The traditional pre-British, and pre-modern, Indian society, while stationary, afforded very limited caste mobility to those from non-elite castes who could successfully wage warfare against (and seize power from) a weak ruler, or bring wooded areas under the plough to establish independent kingdoms. According to M. N. Srinivas, "Political fluidity in pre-British India was in the last analysis the product of a pre-modern technology and institutional system. Large kingdoms could not be ruled effectively in the absence railways, post and telegraph, paper and printing, good roads, and modern arms and techniques of warfare.".Srinivas 2007 189–193 lower-alpha The Indian Constitution of 26 January 1950 outlawed untouchability and caste discrimination.Rajagopal 2007 The constitution gives generous privileges to the backward castes in an effort to redress injustice over the ages.Datta-Ray 2005 सन्दर्भ इन्हें भी देखें मराठा श्रेणी:भारत की मानव जातियाँ
