Description

Varna System Existed Across Europe and Asia?

"Georges Dumézil's Trifunctional Hypothesis proposed a common structure underlying the mythologies and societies of Proto-Indo-European peoples, consisting of three distinct social functions: sovereignty, warfare, and productivity." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georges_Dum%C3%A9zil#Formulation_of_the_trifunctional_hypothesis

These three directly correspond to Brahmin, Kshatriya, and Vaishya of the Varna System mentioned in ancient Hindu texts.
