Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Buddhism is built on the belief that all men are created equal. This is why Buddhism rejects the caste system. The Buddha was a fervent believer in the qualities a human had to offer, and not their caste.
Detailed explanation-2: -Buddhism does not see Hindu gods as such (they are however accepted and viewed with a subordinate stance) and does not specifically believe in gods while Hindu religion adheres to several deities.
Detailed explanation-3: -It is unclear to what extent these groups at the periphery of the social order of the Ganges basin were incorporated into the caste system, but the Buddha’s family is said to have belonged to the warrior (Kshatriya) caste.
