Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The vаrnа system that the Buddhists had constructed was not well known by many people. Some rulers believed themselves to be above the priests. Others believed that choosing a person's type before birth was impossible. On the contrary, some thought there should be no distinction between people based on their line of work. Meanwhile, some people felt that rituals should be accessible to everyone. Others denounced the unacceptable practice. The influence of the priests was not as strong in many regions of the subcontinent, notably the northeast, where social and economic divides were less pronounced.
Hence the correct statement would be that the varna system ruined harmony in society.
