How did Aryan religion contribute to class differences in India?

Religious rituals usually involved holding large parties, and only wealthy people could afford the parties.

The Vedas contained the directions for how to perform sacrifices, and only priests were allowed to own the Vedas.

Common people disagreed with participating in religious rituals because the sacrifices involved burning foods like fruit and meat.

Reading religious texts required education, and making sacrifices cost money, so wealthier people had greater access to religion.
