The tenants of Hinduism, particularly the concepts of karma and dharma, reinforced the Caste System by promoting the idea that one's social status was a result of past actions and adherence to one's duty. Texts such as the Manusmriti codified social hierarchies, prescribing specific roles and responsibilities for each caste. Additionally, religious rituals and practices often emphasized purity and pollution, further entrenching social divisions. This belief system led to the acceptance of the caste system as a divinely ordained structure, discouraging social mobility and perpetuating inequalities.
