Answer:

To Hindus, all existence is ranked.

Explanation:

The caste system organizes society into groups, with certain groups (such as intellectuals) being higher on the scale than others (such as slaves, for example.) This system divides Hindus into four main groups: Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras.

At the top of the hierarchy are Brahmins. These are mostly teachers and intellectuals thought to have came from Brahman's (the Hindue God of Creation) head.

The Kshatriyas are warriors and rulers who were thought to have come from his arms.

Next, the Vashyas, consisting of traders who came from his thighs.

The Shudras came from his feet, and did the low skill work.

This caste system dictated almost every aspect of Hindu religious life for centuries. They lived in segregated colonies, Brahmins would not accept food or drink from Shudras, and one could not marry outside of their caste, for example.

Hinduism does not urge people to move outside of their caste, as the system is part of their daily life and is the basis of many decisions made.

The caste system is not the foundation of Hinduism. Everything done in Hinduism is based on Brahman. This is not the best answer to the question because while the caste system is a result of Brahman, the system itself is not the foundation of Hinduism.

Hindus do not reject the caste system, as it is heavily used in their religion and society.
