Question
Visheshta was watching a movie about how a priest stops a shoemaker from entering the temple. The same priest is respected and given gifts by the king. She was confused as to why this discrimination existed. Her father told her that it was because of the class system from the time.
Which class do you think the shoemaker must have belonged to?

Solution
The correct option is C Shudra
Society was divided into four classes based on the work they did. This division was called Varna. The shoemaker must have been a Shudra. The priest was a Brahmin and had access to the religious scriptures. The king was a warrior and was a Kshatriya. Vaishyas were the businessmen and traders. This system of classification based on occupation from back then is now known to us as the caste system.
