During the period of social and economic change in India, particularly with the rise of the colonial economy and urbanization, new castes emerged, including the "middle castes" such as the "Vaishyas" who became more economically active as traders and entrepreneurs. Additionally, occupational groups like the "Brahmo Samaj" and "Arya Samaj" attracted members from various backgrounds, challenging traditional caste boundaries. The emergence of these new castes reflected shifts in societal roles and the influence of modern education and economic opportunities.
