Avarna in the Sanskrit language of India means one who does not have a varna. The term denotes those sections of people in the Hindu fold who do not belong to the four major castes or Varnas. The four major castes are Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra (who are also called Savarnas).

Per India's official records, the Avarna masses are currently broadly classified into three main categories, (Backward Castes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes) according to their social, educational and economical backwardness.
