Why did people oppose the system of Varnas?  

Answer:

The priests divided people into four groups, called varnas. Acording to them, each varna had a different set of functions. The priests also said that these groups were decided on the basis of birth. Many people did not accept the system of varna laid down by the brahmins. Some people felt that there should be no differences amongst people based on occupation.
