The divisions of class during vedic Age

Step by step explanation

  • The class system in Vedic society were controlled through strict distinctions which everyone understood. Such classes have now become a caste system which distinguishes where people go and what should be done.
  • The monks that is the Brahmans, were in the highest of the chaturvarnas. Under the priests are warriors or nobles  who are called as (Kshatriya), and skilled artisans and merchants (Vaishya) and workers (Shudra) that formed the backbone of society. All economic groups are legitimized from an intricate religious structure and it would subsequently be divided in to a massive number of economic subcategories that are termed or named as  "castes."
  • By the end of the Rigvedic period, the social status was becoming  unyielding. there were no such thing as social mobility.
  • This has become a key point in explaining a social system of Vedic society. Responsibilities were described, roles were understood, and how people were, what they can do, and how they would live. The structure of the Vedic class were established by the adoption of all these stratified classes.
  • The Vedas were written and verbally accurately conveyed by the speakers of the Old Indo-Aryan language who already had, at the beginning of the this time, moved to a northwestern regions of the  Indian subcontinent. The Vedic Society was patriarchal and patrilinear.
  • The Vedic time have seen the development of a system of social classes which might remain influential. The Vedic philosophy formed into Brahmanic Orthodoxy, but at the beginning of the Common Era, the Vedic tradition has become one of the main components of the Hindu Synthesis.
