Aryans without caste- 9

...The Rig Vedic life of Aryans was very tough and filled with poverty. One reason was the inter-tribal wars and other was the low level of sustenance provided by nomadic economy. Another reason was the tough resistance faced by the Aryans from the local population. In fact they were chased from place to place due to their defeat at the hands of local chieftains which is evident from their frequent requests for divine help from gods to be victorious in wars and in plundering. The natural and forced movements from place to place prevented them from taking up a settled life. The Rig Vedic people lived among Dasas, Dasyus, the noseless people, Panis, Aja, Shigru, Yaksha, Matsya, Kiril and people who spoke bitter language. Therefore, it cannot be said that the Rig Vedic people were living in vacuum or they came and populated the Sapta-Sandhav region. Panis were the much hated people who stole the cattle of Rig Vedic people. The other great enemies were the Dasyus who had frequent war with the Aryans at that time. These people were the original people of India who were defeated ultimately through war, diplomacy, matrimonial alliances and cultural means. The culture of performing Yagyas became most in demand for which Rig Vedic Rishis were needed. This assumed ability of Rishis and Brahmans of bringing gods to the side performing yagyas helped in a significen manner in spread of their influence and Sanatana dharma which development in cultural hegemony of Brahmans. The all powerful Rishis were forerunners of all later powerful Brahmans. At present all the Brahmans trace their patrinilieal lineage from Vedic Rishis.

The Rig Vedic people were not able to take up agriculture because of resistance from the natives. The other reason for not taking up agriculture might have been that the Aryans considered themselves superior to native people and refused to copy their mode of living which they consider as inferior. This feeling of superiority might have been due to their fair skin. This mode of thinking indicates a kind of racism and might have provided seeds for the later discriminatory Varna system. The other reason might be that they considered the agriculture as inferior occupation because of the use of manual labor which rendered it below their level and thus demeaning for the people used to fight with arms. This also indicates seeds for the development of discriminatory Varna system. Otherwise, there seems to be no reason for not taking up agriculture by Rig Vedic people, which was quite beneficial as compared to nomadic life which barely providing sustainable life, and no comforts. These comforts became available to later days Kshatriyas and Brahmans and theory of Karma was developed to safeguard these comforts till eternity...
