Question 29 • GA-GSE World History
Dalits have historically been treated as outside the four main varnas, or castes, and were formerly called “untouchables.” They were considered below even the lowest caste in the traditional hierarchy. Vaishyas are traditionally the third varna, while Brahmins are the priestly varna; Aryans refers to a historical people, not this social group.
