Storyboard Tekst
- SOCIAL STRUCTURE OF ANCIENT INDIA
- Ancient Indian Hinduism imposed a strict social hierarchy called a "caste system". The Vedas described four main social classes: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras. The Dalit (formerly known as "untouchables") are considered outside the system and treated poorly. The caste system affected every part of a person's life as whatever caste they were born into could not be changed. One could not marry outside of their caste either.
- SHUDRA(artisans, laborers, servants)
- VAISHYA(merchants, traders, farmers)
- DALIT(Sanitation workers)
- BRAHMAN(Hindu priests, advisers, intellectual leaders)
- KSHATRIYA(rulers, military leaders, large landowners)
