Religion V.S. Social Order in Vedic Ages
- Religious beliefs and social order such as Varna and Jati fit together because religious beliefs stated that one was reincarnated into a higher social class when one had good moral, and if the individual was deemed bad, they would face unfortunate events (such as being lowered in social class).
- The social order attempted to justify the religious beliefs because one could not control the position that they were in. Social order instead took advantage of the way people worked because they worked efficiently thinking they could be born into a better social class. This strengthened the biased social classes.
