Buddhism and caste

Buddhism arose in India in the 5th century BC, when the predominant religion in the region was Brahmanism, a predecessor of modern-day Hinduism. Brahmanism supported a religiously and socially motivated caste system, which continues to play a significant role in the society of Hindu India today. Due to differing metaphysical and ethical doctrines, Buddhist attitudes towards caste have historically diverged from and rejected those of Hinduism in several ways.
