- The varna system is first mentioned in the tenth mandala (chapter) of the Rigveda.
- In the later Vedic period, the varna system lost its flexibility.
- Also, the caste system got rooted firmly by this period.
- In the beginning, the varna or the caste was decided by one’s occupation.
- Later it came to be determined on the basis of birth.
- Hence it became impossible to change one’s varna and caste, in which he/she was born.
