Answer:
The Aryans had a religious tradition that they developed from their sacred texts called the Vedas. The Rig Veda is a Vedic text that describes the mythological creation of the world and the sacrifice of the first human, a giant named Purusha. The texts state that Purusha was separated into four parts by the gods. These four parts became the four castes of people in Aryan society. Purusha’s mouth became the Brahmins, his arms became the Kshatriyas, his legs became the Vaishyas, and his feet became the Shudras.
- The highest caste in the Aryan caste system was the Brahmins. Brahmins were priests, scholars, judges, teachers, and landowners and were believed to understand the Dharma, or spiritual laws that governed the universe. Many lived in the temples apart from the rest of society.
- The second caste included the Kshatriya who were the rulers and warriors. They made everyday decisions and ran the government.
- The third caste were the peasants, farmers and traders called Vaishyas. Sometimes Vaishyas had some leadership positions in smaller villages.
- The last caste were the laborers known as Shudras. They most often work on farms owned by people in higher castes.
