Abstract

This article aims to study the CASTE-CLASS SYSTEM in INDIAn Rig- Veda and AVESTA, which were the social structure of the ancient IRAN as well as INDIA.Since the hymns of the Rig-Veda and AVESTA remark three distinct classes, it is hard to imagine the early ARYANS with no social classes when they migrated to IRAN and INDIA. The Rig-Veda calls these classes “Brahman” (priest), “Rajanya” (nobility), and “Vaisya” (Commoner or Farmer -Craftsman). AVESTA labels them “Athravan (priest)”, “Rathaestar (Army)”, and “Vastrya (Commoner or Farmer-Craftsman). The Classification of ARYANS reveals that the classes from Rig-Veda are very close to the AVESTAn’s social classes. This reveals that these two systems have a common origin. Hence it makes evident that the ARYANS gradually migrated to INDIA from IRAN.
