Hindu caste classificationSat-Sudra or Sacchudra (/sætʃuːdrə/ Sanskrit: सच्छूद्र, IAST: Sacchūdra [ˈsʌtʃuːdrə]) is a caste classification found in ancient Hindu texts and mentioned in several British Raj records. It means, a Shudra, though not traditionally allowed by law, sometimes undergoes the same ceremonies as the higher classes in certain regions. This includes groups like Gopas (milkmen) and Nāpitas (barbers). Sat-Sudras were considered higher caste, different from Sudras or asat-Sudras.
