    How did the caste system develop? Explain in detail.

    Answer:

    The caste system developed gradually in the Later Vedic age. The Aryans made the defeated dasas do unpleasant work. Division was created between the dasas and the fair-skinned Aryans. The dasas were given the name shudras and were not allowed to take part in any Aryan ceremony. Hence the caste system consisting of the four castes came into being- the Brahmins, kshatriyas, vaishyas and the shudras.
