The warrior class, the Kshatriyas, were expected to protect society and engage in warfare. They were also in charge of enforcing the law and keeping society in order. While some Kshatriyas may have worked in agriculture or trade, war was their primary occupation.
During the Gupta period, Hinduism, a diverse and complex religion with a long history, emerged as the dominant religious tradition. This was due in part to the support of the Gupta kings, who were known for patronising Hindu temples and priests.
