It had four kinds of people, whose lives depended on the "Kull" of "Cow" (or in simple words, people whose life depended on cow herds):
1. The warriors: In ancient times wealth of a person depended on the number of animals a person had, as the society in ancient times was an agrarian society. The warriors were in the form of horse riding warriors in form of kings and other knights and so on. As the society depended on them to establish order in the kingdom and society. These people were involved in improving their fighting skills, administration capacities, etc. The real owners of these herds of cows were these horse riding warrior people and we have proof of that as well " we all know that if there used to be fight between kingdoms, cows of the kingdom were the first prized possession. Kings arouse out of normal tribes by being elected or gaining power through inheritance.
2. Priests: Priests always depended on the society and the kings for their livelihood as they would try to tell the future of the person or in bad cases create a future of the person artificially by creating situations in life of the person or group of people from the birth till the death of a person, priest or group of priest will follow families of preach families about life. Often the priests were given cows in reward for their preaching, etc.
3. Cow caretakers/ cow grazers: These were the people who could graze the cattle of the warriors and the priests. They were the people, who would come to the house of the owner of the cow Warrior/priest and take the cows out to graze in the field. These people were also responsible for collecting Cow dung (or Gu) for stove or cooking etc. They were also responsible for harnessing milk and other products from the cow herd.
4. People using cow parts to make clothes, shoes, etc. Then there would be people would use cow parts for different use for the society.
Such a society was not an uneven society. As no person was high or low depending on the work. These kind of self sustaining societies were a normal phenomena in any agrarian/nomadic societies with cattle and other livestock as main animals throughout the world.
Each section of society was there to make the entire system run smoothly.
