divided according to the laws of Brahmanism.

equal rank, and same profession or occupation, and may

sacerdotal order; the Kshatriyas, or soldiers and
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.
[1913 Webster]

The tinkers then formed an hereditary caste.
--Macaulay.

{To lose caste}, to be degraded from the caste to which one
has belonged; to lose social position or consideration.
[1913 Webster]
