  2. It was only towards the end of the Vedic period that Varna turned into a rigid jati (caste) hierarchy based on the ideology of ‘purity and pollution’.
  3. Notions of purity and pollution continue to be followed in everyday practices such as food and water intake, dressing, occupation, worship, social interactions, travel etc.
  4. For Example -
    1. Brahmin - priests, teachers, intellectuals
    2. Kshatriya - rulers and warriors
    3. Vaishya - Merchants, traders, farmers
    4. Shudra - Menial work
  5. The first three varnas began to call themselves the upper varnas. They became the ‘twice-born’ (dvija) because they were entitled to the initiation ceremony (upanayana).
