Jainism and Buddhism badly sabotaged the Caste System that had been prevailing during that time. The common mass got very much attracted to these religions, who accepted all the follower's worship altogether without any caste-distinction. Both the religions united the people in society who had been divided before, over caste and creed-issues.
