Hence in communities which are more agrarian and poor, will have a larger problem of the caste discrimination, as all these relations were defined for a political entity with agrarian surplus and division of labour and with the advancement of technology and mode of production becoming more and more mechanised the older class-caste groups are bound to become more and more obsolete than ever.

There are reasons to believe that till the epic fratricidal war erupted, the Confederacy of Yadus were actually the most powerful of all political forces in the subcontinent, which had greatly consolidated their power through the successfully annhilation of the threats from the Kal Yavan (the alien or Greek), Jarasandh (of Magadh) and Shishupal (from the Chedi Kingdom).
