There is no hierarchy in the varna system. The varna system as mentioned in the Zoroastrian Avesta has a lot of similarities with Vedic scriptures..neither mentions hierarchies. Also..all Hindu gods are non-Brahmins..Rama was Kshatriya and Lakshmana’s mother Sumitra was a Shudra. Krishna was from a family of land owning cowherds. Many southern dynasties had Shudra kings esp in the south. Vishwamitra was a Kshatriya who became a Brahmin and parasurama was a Brahmin who became a warrior/Kshatriya. Valmiki who also wrote Ramayana that is read as a holy text in india today was a Hunter and a butcher. The word ‘caste’ is from the Portuguese word ‘casta’ and a later invention. I like that all this is discussed openly these days. Maybe people can be educated from the original texts and scriptures. Time to fix the colonial and invaders’ mischiefs.
