👉 Dhritarashtra is a Sanskrit term used to describe the five major castes of Hinduism. These are Brahmins (priests), Kshatriyas (warriors, farmers, and warriors), Vaishyas (soldiers, merchants, artisans, and scholars), Shudras (common people) and Moshes (casteless). The term "Dhritarashtra" is derived from the Sanskrit word "dhrata," which means "five."
