There were many people in the society who did not accept the ideas of the Brahmins.

Sanskrit books speak of these people, who were outside the circle of Brahmin influences, as uncultured, evil and equal to animals.

1. Forest dwellers, hunters, Nishadas, wandering shepherds, etc. were in this category.

2. People who could not speak Sanskrit were branded uncultured. They were looked upon with contempt. In spite of the mistreatment given to them, these people mutually shared their ideas and beliefs.

3. In some Mahabharata stories, the character of their relations can be seen clearly.
