In the early Vedic period, there are three social classes based on their work. Brahma or priests who prayed to God and, share knowledge among the people. Kshatriya or warriors, the protector of the tribe. Daas who served their Aryan masters.


They are very creative and brilliant in weaving, carpentry, leather architecture, and metalwork.
