Detailed explanation-1: -The post-Vedic period saw many social changes, including the introduction of Buddhism and Jainism. The caste system became an integral part of Indian social structure between 500 BC and 500 AD. The number of castes increased due to factors such as inter-caste marriage, tribe acceptance into caste hierarchy, and so on.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first group, Brahmin, occupies the top position in this hierarchy. The second group is Rajanya (later known as Kshatriyas), third is Vaishya. The Shudras come last in the hierarchy according to the Rigveda. In this way the book-view of the Hindu Social order depicts only four Varnas (classes) in it.
Detailed explanation-3: -Indigenous education was imparted at home, in temples, pathshalas, tols, chatuspadis and gurukuls. There were people in homes, villages and temples who guided young children in imbibing pious ways of life. Temples were also the centres of learning and took interest in the promotion of knowledge of our ancient system.
