Brahmans were the direct descendants of lord Brahma. They were the first to appear on earth and superior in knowledge, Power and skills than other castes. Only they were given power to practice Vedic Rituals.
Mainly Hinduism is followed in India currently in its original form. Caste system has 4 main castes brahmans, khsatriya, vaiishya & suta.
Mythology states that Hinduism was born when Lord Brahma gave birth to sons. Being sons of Lord Brahma they thought their Religion to be brhaminism unless told otherwise by Lord Brahma himself.
Hinduism is the religion that divides families into four castes known as varnas: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants and farmers), and Shudras (laborers). These caste divisions are hierarchical and traditionally determined by birth, leading to limited social mobility and interaction among the castes.
It allowed people to move between castes
during ancient times higher castes of Hindus used to go to Gurukul aka schools. While lower castes were banned from learning.
In Hinduism Caste System is very important. Caste system determines what a man should do with his life & how to chose his profession.
Hinduism never forces anyone to do so. Caste system is the issue of pride fro most of the people.
Schedule Castes are those who have surrendered to the authority of the Hinduism. And Schedule Tribes are those who have not submiited themselves to the authority of the Hinduism and instead they preffered staying away from the Hindus rather than surrendering their freedom and liberty.
All the superior castes in Hinduism have a dharma, that is a place and resposibility in society. Do the dalits have a dharma?
Hinduism never believes in forcing people staying in their castes. Rather Castes have become identification of Individual, thus they like to embrace their castes because it brings pride to them.
the people who belonged to the lowest of the four castes in Hinduism that is the shudras were reegarded as the untouchables.
