Revolutionary Religion Movement প্রতিবাদী ধর্ম আন্দোলন

In Vedic society, the influence and prestige of the Brahmins and caste differences had increased to such an extent that the other three classes of society namely - Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras became enslaved to the Brahmins. There was a growing demand in society for a non-caste religious philosophy.

Vedic society used to sacrifice a lot of animals for Yagya. As a result, there was a shortage of animal power in agriculture. Against animal slaughter, a religion preaching the message of non-violence became necessary.

The various interpretations of Vedic Hindu rules, rituals and way of life had become so complex that it was becoming incomprehensible to the common man. It was becoming quite difficult for the common man to live his daily life according to the rules of religion. There was a need for a religion that would guide us in a simple way of living.

For all these reasons, Buddhism and Jainism arose in India in the 6th century BC, which led the people to a new path.

Since Buddhism and Jainism arose as a protest against the religious, social and economic characteristics based primarily on Vedic Hinduism, they are called protestant religious movements.
