Answer / Reshma Khatun
The Buddhist theory of a social contract emphasizes mutual respect and reciprocity among all castes. It suggests that the ruler, in turn, is accountable to the ruled. In contrast, the Brahmanical view of society derived from the Purusha sukta, a hymn in the Rigveda, justifies the caste system by describing it as a division of the primordial man (Purusha).
