Carefully consider the fact that Vyasa does not directly disagree with castes and his noblest characters still remain those born of the Kshyatria and Brahmin castes.

The caste system causes many tragedies and unfair treatments in the Mahabharata, many of which end tragically. This system was highly revered at the time and indeed many character histories and personalities are carefully confined within stereotypical belief of what defines each caste. In the Bhagavad Gita however, Lord Krishna suggests that this system is futile and that anyone can achieve salvation. What does this (along with other incidents such as Karnas life, Kuntis decisions etc.) suggest about the authors view on the caste system. Carefully consider the fact that Vyasa does not directly disagree with castes and his noblest characters still remain those born of the Kshyatria and Brahmin castes.
