Brahmin kept them at top level and reserved every sector of respect and resources for themselves only, pretending that it’s the wish of God. Moreover they had prohibited most of the people belonging Shudra Varna from social respect and all natural resources. They had been always humiliated, exploited, severely punished, and most of the times killed. The care had been taken from the upper Varna that, the Shudra Varna people would never rebel against these barbaric social and religious norms. For this purpose the Sudras were again divided into more than 6000 castes and sub castes. This cruel system created by Brahmins benefited them by all means.
