What are farmers, craftspeople, and traders in the Indian Caste System

The Vaishyas

Vaishyas were skilled farmers, merchants, and craftsmen. Vaishyas could hold office in village government. They might live in very nice houses. Even though they were three down on the social scale, they still had good clothes and ample food. They might not be the top leaders, but they were certainly a respected part of society.

Explanation:

The Vaishyas were farmers, merchants (traders) and craftsmen. They were third down on the scale, but were still respected. They were basically the backbone of the economy, and could be compared to today's middle class. They were above the Sudras (unskilled workers) and below the Kshatriyas (warriors).
