The Rise of Intellectual teachings

- The 6th century also witnessed great unrest and the emergence of new kingdoms and political order that paved the way for social structure change.
Reasons for the emergence of new ideas

- The supremacy exerted by the Brahmin class and the way they suppressed the quest of other classes in society.
- Various rituals and sacrifices performed by the lower class people irked the upper-class people.
The domination of Upper class
- The philosophical practices of Brahmins confused the lower class people, as they were too tough to understand for the layman.
- The caste system destroyed the equality among humans and made the lower strata people inferior to the upper-class people.
- The social oppression faced by the lower class provoked them to question the dominant people and their ideals.
- In the light of such oppressive practices and degradation rose the intellectual movements from the people of lower strata, which allowed them to question the hierarchy displayed by the dominant class.
- During this critical juncture of the intellectual uprising, the most important religious orders of Buddhism and Jainism emerged and further established an equal social order and shaped people’s thoughts and actions through various ideas and principles.
