How was varna based society changed?
✓

Answer

Changes in Varna based Society:
  • In almost the entire subcontinent, society was already divided on the basis of varna.
  • These rules, prescribed by the Brahmanas, were accepted by the rulers of large kingdoms.
  • The differences between the high and low, and between the rich and poor, increased.
  • Under the Delhi Sultans and the Mughals, this hierarchy between social classes grew further.
  • With the growth of economy and the needs of society, people with new skills were required.
  • Smaller castes, or jatis, emerged within varnas.
  • New castes appeared amongst the Brahmanas.
  • Many tribes and social groups formed caste-based society and were given the status of jatis.
  • Specialised artisans like- smiths, carpenters and masons were also recognised as separate jatis by the Brahmanas.
  • Jatis, surpassed varna, and became the basis of society organisation.
