Question

Explain the Varna system. What change did it undergo during Later Vedic period?​

Answer 1

Answer:

This quadruple division is a form of social stratification not to be confused with the much more nuanced Jāti or the European term "caste". The varna system is discussed in Hindu texts, and understood as idealised human callings. The concept is generally traced to the Purusha Sukta verse of the Rig Veda.
