Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

• Varna in the context of Hinduism, refers to a social class within a hierarchical caste system. the ideology is epitomized in texts like Manusmiriti, which classify the society into four varnas:
• Brahmins: Vedic scholars, priests and teachers,
• Kshatriyas: rulers, warriors and administration.
• Vaishyas: agriculturalists and merchants.
• Shudras: laborers and service providers.
• This quadruple division is a form of social stratification, quite different from the more nuanced system jatis which is correspond to the European term caste.
• The varna system is discussed in Hindu texts and understood as idealised human callings. the concpet is generally traced to the the purusha sukta verse of the rig Veda.
