kshatriya

A member of the Hindu caste of warriors and rulers, traditionally responsible for protection and administration.
Noun
pl: kshatriyas

This term refers specifically to the second-highest varna in the traditional Hindu social hierarchy. It carries a connotation of nobility, duty, and martial prowess, emphasizing the moral obligation to protect the weak and maintain social order through governance or warfare.

In modern usage, the term is often used in historical or sociological contexts to discuss the caste system of India. While it historically denoted a rigid social class, it is now frequently discussed in terms of the archetypal "warrior spirit" or the ethical code of the ruling class.
