In this section of the chapter they talked about social life and duty in classical India. Something that they told us was personal behavior in classical India was regulated according to caste. Each caste was associated with a particular color, part of the body of the god Purusha, and with a set of duties. Another thing that they told us was that the caste behavior was defined in term of four stages of life. Each new stage was marked by a "samskara". Samskara was a ritual initiating the person into this new phase of life. Everything that I mansion got my attention because I got to learned how the Indians used to do there things back in the days.
