 The Sharanas belonged all strata.Everybody (there was no discrimination - Men, Women, Dalits, Shudras, Brahmins, Vaishyas - all were one, and they were all classless) provided equal opportunities by the social reformer Basaveshwara and made them to depend on their own work, think rational and contribute back to society through "Daasoha".This institution was also the fountainhead of the Vachana literature which was used as the vector to propagate Sharana’s views and philosophical thought.
