"what is bad about the varna system" is not the same question as "what is varna" varna is Hindu religious-social group known as a "caste"
The Varna system is a traditional social classification in Hindu society dividing people into four main categories based on occupation, while the caste system is a complex social hierarchy where individuals are born into a specific hereditary social group that determines their status and occupation. The Varna system is a theoretical model, while the caste system is a rigid and discriminatory social structure that has evolved from it.
In Hinduism, varna refers to the four major social classes: Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants and artisans), and Shudras (laborers). The varna system traditionally determines a person's social status and occupation based on birth.
The four major social ranks in the Varna system are Brahmins (priests and scholars), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaishyas (merchants and farmers), and Shudras (laborers and service providers). These four varnas were believed to be originally created from different parts of the cosmic being.
The caste system was invented in India. It was originally called Varna. The caste system is the social structure in which classes are determined by heredity.
Buddhism generally rejected the rigid hierarchical structure of the varna system, which classified society into distinct social groups based on birth. The Buddha emphasized individual moral conduct and spiritual development over caste identity, advocating that anyone, regardless of their social background, could achieve enlightenment. While some Buddhist communities may have been influenced by local customs and social structures, the core teachings of Buddhism promote equality and inclusivity.
The Brahmins were part of the highest social class system known as the "varna" system in ancient India. They were traditionally priests, scholars, and teachers, responsible for performing religious rituals and imparting knowledge.
The purpose of the varna system was to separate the thousands of jati in Indian society that were grouped together into four classes.
