•Tied in with Hinduism in many ways such as the belief in reincarnation and achieving moksa by working up through each caste until they no longer have earthly ties

•This encourages the caste system to prevail as *80.5% of Indians are identify with the Hindu religion and its values of reincarnation

•Despite this, the Virashiavas (who represent a clear and articulate protest against the Hindu caste system) actively oppose Hindu beliefs and customs especially those associated with the caste system

•Encourage intercaste marriage
