Chinese
Buddhist monk name Xuanzang who was traveling for China to India to learn about
Buddhism. He learned about Bodhi tree where Gautama Buddha attained
enlightenment. In Xuanzang journey in Western Region, he was also learning
about how the system was functioning. One of the things he learns was about the
cast system and how it works. For example, Brahman has the highest power than
anyone in the society. They are much respected because they did well in their
earlier life and they are very pure. Other classes are below Brahman. Moreover,
Xuanzang also observed and learned that in India once women get marry
they were not allow to marry, but man can marry as many as they want. Xuanzang
journey to India was longer than a decade. However, comparing to today it was
very long because today it takes only few hours. Back then everything was
longer because of the transportation. Therefore, it was very hard to get
connected with people around the world. Today people feel very connected with
other people around the world due to advance technology.
