The Aryans Project 2
Storyboard Text
- I will be talking about Aryan and it's four social classes in the ancient Aryan society.
- Did you know that there were 4 social classes in the ancient Aryan society. The four were warriors & nobles; artisans & merchants and then the lowest level of them are farm workers, laborers, servants
- Did you know that the caste system started with just four castes. People that made the caste system were priests, warriors, traders and farmers, and finally paid workers. The caste got a lot more striated until someone was finally born into your caste and that person could not move or marry out of the caste.
- Top Caste: The Brahims: The top caste was made up of scholars, priests, teachers, judges, and landowners. They were know as the Brahmin caste or Brahmins. Many Brahmins lived in temples, removed from society. Others spent a great deal of time in contemplation and meditation.
- The Kshatriya: Kshatriyas were the warriors. Rulers of towns and cities mostly came from the Kshatriya caste. Any decision they made, however, could be overuled by a member of the Brahmin, the caste above them.
- The Vaishyas: Vaishyas were skilled farmers, merchants, and craftsmen. Vaishyas could hold office in village government. They might live in very nice houses. Even though they were three down on the social scale, they still had good clothes and ample food.
- Bottom Caste: The Sudras: The Sudras were the unskilled workers. They might find a job on a farm or a non-skilled job in a home or business like cleaning.
- As you can see there are a lot of things that happened during this time and some people were on the high side and some people were on the low side. If I lived there I would want to be in the middle because I would not want to be poor but not too rich either.
