Kshatriya
Kshatriya (, from , ) is one of the four varnas, or castes, in Hinduism. Traditionally, the ruling or military class belonged to the Kshatriya varna. Lord Ram was a Kshatriya.
In ancient Vedic society, a person's varna was assigned based on aptitude (guna), conduct (karma), and nature (swabhava). Over the years, these groups became hereditary.
