The correct answer is False

Step-by-step explanation:

The Aryan Caste System was a social sytem that developed in India during the Vedic period (1500BCE-500 BCE); this system divided society into four classes that included priest and scholars that were on the top; followed by governors and warriors; then peasants, artisans and similar and finally laborers. Each of these levels in the social hierarchy differ n terms of power and role in the society; additionally, it is believed this was based on a sacred text called Rig Veda. On the other, hand the Hinduism is a religion that emerged in India and then expanded to other zones in Asia especially after the Vedic period, this is mainly based on cosmology philosophy and multiple sacred texts. Considering this, it can be concluded the Arian Caste System was a social system, while the Hinduism is a religion, also both developed in different periods and even though sacred texts were the base of both their essence and purpose were different. Therefore, it is false Hinduism was the same as the Aryan Caste System.
