Ancient Social Structure: The Four Varnas India’s Ancient Social Structure: The Four Varnas Brahmins Kshatriyas Vaisyas Sudras Pariahs (Untouchables) Why are there FIVE levels for the FOUR Varnas??

India’s Ancient Social Structure 1.Brahmins – Priests 2.Kshatriyas – Warriors/princes 3.Vaisyas – merchants/farmers 4.Sudras – peasants/servants Pariahs – so “unclean” not even part of the system, do the toughest and dirtiest jobs (gravediggers)

The Caste System Over many centuries, the Varnas evolved into the Indian Caste System – legally enforced social structure. The word caste comes from the Portuguese word castas, meaning "pure." Everything was decided for you based on your social class: Job Social Grouping Marriage Religious Purity

From where does this system originate? The earliest known mention of caste is found in the Aryan’s Vedic hymns of Hinduism, perhaps dating from about 1000 B.C. Vedic Hymns are closest thing to holy book in Hinduism In a famous passage, the metaphor of the human body was used to describe Indian society. This metaphor stresses the idea of hierarchy as well as that of interdependence.

Caste Rules No social mobility. Not allowed to marry people from different castes. Couldn’t eat with people from different castes If you broke the rules then you were banned from your home and caste making you an untouchable. The effect of the caste rules was that people only spent time with others from their caste – fragmented society.

Caste Rules (cont’d) The rules were meant to 1.maintain the structure of society 2.help people remain spiritually pure according to HINDUISM They would risk pollution if they interacted with a lower caste member. Rules were especially strict for the members of higher castes – Have to stay pure!!

On the following slides, you will see several pictures. To which caste did each person belong?
