The division of Mauryan Society into seven classes was mentioned in The Indica of Megasthenes.
The Mauryan society was divided into seven categories-
Philosophers
Farmers
Soldiers
Herdsman
Artisans
Magistrates
Councilors
These divisions were based on the caste of the people.
And once assigned, these people were not allowed to change their profession.
The administration played an important role as well.
