Varnashram is the division of human society all over the world(consciously or unconsciously) into four ways or earning one's livelihood. They are Brahmins(repository of knowledge), Kshatruiya(power), wealth(vaishya) and service(shudra).According to gandhiji this is a universal law like the law of Gravitation. It governs the human family. The Law of varna defines man's mission on this earth, that is, to know his Maker.He says that man must not devote the chief part of his life in making experiments in finding out what occupation will suit him best for earning his livelihood. Following his father's footsteps and occupation is best and in that sense the Law of Varna means it is the Law of Heredity as well.
The four occupations-that of being Brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas or shudras- are all equal and honourable. They merely prescribe the duties of men belonging to different vocations and should confer no privileges. Gandhiji says that all men are born equal and serve God's creations, the Brahmin with his knowledge, the kshatriya with his power of protection, the vaishya with his commercial ability and the shudra with his bodily labour. Hence no varna should look down or look upto anyone else. He defends the caste system by saying that in its origin caste was a wholesome custom and promoted national well being. But it has suffered from excrescences like any other institution .
