no it wasn'tThis is how feudal europe and America also used to operate.
The European feudal system was secular and had social mobility, even if limited, in a way that the Indian caste system never did.
You just told me a fantasy story.The European feudal system was secular and had social mobility, even if limited, in a way that the Indian caste system never could.
Not just because of the role of the Catholic Church in providing social mobility (some popes like Sixtus V were born peasants) but also because there lacked the religious and cultural stigma of associating yourself with lowborns. Basil I of Byzantium was a lowborn peasant who worked as a stable boy before becoming Emperor. Similarly, a bunch of important generals and historical figures like Joan of Arc, Matthias Corvinus, Jan Zizka, were peasants, and some were technically gentry but near-peasant levels like Oliver Cromwell. Not to mention the Italian merchant republics who in their earlier years had a lot of influence from the old Roman republic and placed a huge emphasis on meritocracy.

Thing don't work like that on the ground level.
nigga i literally said that it was strict but more fluid than the indian caste system. I don't know much about indian history but i assume that they wouldn't be as receptive to someone born in the lowest strata being whatever their equivalent of pope is
