divided according to the laws of Brahmanism.

rulers; the Vaisyas, or husbandmen and merchants; and
the Sudras, or laborers and mechanics. Men of no caste
are Pariahs, outcasts. Numerous mixed classes, or
castes, have sprung up in the progress of time.
[1913 Webster]

2. A separate and fixed order or class of persons in society
who chiefly hold intercourse among themselves.

has belonged; to lose social position or consideration.
