Answer:

In the belife system, you were born into your caste and according to the religon by folling the rules and listiging your higher castes when you were re-born you would be re-born into a higher caste. The caste system was actually in turn a way to control people in the religion.

Hinduism reinforced a strict social hierarchy called a caste system that made it nearly impossible for people to move outside of their social station. Emperors during the Gupta empire used Hinduism as a unifying religion and focused on Hinduism as a means for personal salvation.
