Hindu ideas about karma and reincarnation strengthened
the Caste System. If a person was born as an upper-caste male-a Brahmin, warrior,
or merchant-his good fortune was said to come from good karma earned in a former
life. However, a person who was born as a female, a laborer, or an untouchable
might be getting the results of bad deeds in a former life. With some exceptions,
only men of the top three varnas could hope to achieve moksha in their present life.
The laws of karma worked with the same certainty as the world's other natural laws.
Good karma brought good fortune and bad
karma resulted in bad fortune.
Together, the beliefs of Hinduism and
its caste structure dominated every aspect
of a person's life. These beliefs determined
what one could eat and the way in which
one ate it, personal cleanliness, the people
one could associate with, how one dressed,
and so on. Today, even in the most ordinary
activities of daily life, Hindus turn to
their religion for guidance.
