Hindu History

- The Two Classes of the Four-Fold Caste System


- by Shri Sudheer Birodkar

We saw in the last chapter how following the disintegration of the tribal society in which every able-bodied person took part in the productive process, the rise of 2 section comprising Priests and Warriors (Brahmins and Kshatriyas) who did not take part in the productive process, logically meant that now for their own livelihood this section of Priests and Warriors had to appropriate their sustenance i.e. a part of the social product from the productive section comprising the Vaishya cultivators and the Shudra helots.
