Iron was used extensively during the Later Vedic Period and this enabled the people to clear forests and to bring more land under cultivation. Agriculture became the chief occupation.
The two higher classes - Brahmana, and Kshatriya enjoyed privileges that were denied to the Vaisya and Sudra. A Brahmin occupied a higher position than a Kshatriya but sometimes Kshatriyas claimed a higher status over the Brahmins. Many sub-castes on the basis of their occupation appeared in this period.

Sacrifices were still important and the rituals connected with them became more elaborate.
