Detailed explanation-1: -While Mahavira had rejected the claims of the caste system that privileged Brahman authority on the basis of innate purity, a formalized caste system nonetheless gradually appeared among the Digambara laity in the south.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mahavira rejected Vedas and condemned Vedic rituals. He believed that through pure and meritorious life all can attain liberation. No ritual is required for acquiring such liberation. It can be attained through right knowledge, right faith, and right action.
Detailed explanation-3: -Jainism does not condemn the varna system while Buddhism does. Jainism believed in transmigration of soul i.e. reincarnation while Buddhism does not. Buddha prescribed the middle path while Jainism advocates his followers to even completely discard the clothes i.e. life of austerity.
