Shramanism was a religious and philosophical tradition introduced to India by the Aryans some time between 4000 and 1200 BCE. It consisted of a large number of different factions, with actually very little in common, except their opposition against Brahmanism and their refusal to accept the caste system and the Vedas. Two of these factions have survived, and become full-fledged religions: Jainism and Buddhism.
