Dh V 4 years ago

According to the purusha sutaka, the 4 varnas ( i.e brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas and sudras ) emerged because of the sacrifice of primeval man. There was inequality in the society which widened the social differences. The birth was only the criterion to designate status in society However the buddist ideology was contrary to the brahminicals ideas. They accepted that there was inequality in the society but postulated that it was neither natural nor permanent . Buddhist also rejected birth being the basis of someone's status and prestige in society. They were other implications as well, if humans beings are responsible for the creating this system, they could also change it in future .
