These classifications are superficial and are not drawn in the constitution. Neither did in âanyâ period of Indian society. It was just classified as people of different professions thatâs all.
Neither did these scriptures discriminate on âcolorâ as the Americanâs do till today for Blackâs.
Nor on âraceâ as Hitler did for Jews. Nor on âclassâ as Greek and Roman society were divided.
And there was no upward or downward moving of the people from one classification to another. A Black cannot become a White (one exception of Michael Jackson). A Jew cannot become any other unless converts to. A person needs to earn a lot of money in Greece or Roman but it was very tedious.
But the great flexibility that the Indian society had that a Brahmin born can become a Shudra just by taking up a job as carpenter or a cleaner. A Shudra can become a Kshatriya by acquiring a Kingdom. The best example is of Karna in Mahabharata.
