Answers
Answer:
Tribes Nomads :
1.Disparities in society
2.Tribal societies
3.Different tribes
As the rise and fall of various kingdoms was happening, new arts, crafts and production activities flourished in towns and villages. There were changes in the economic, political and social scenario over the centuries. But the changes in the social aspects were not the same everywhere. This is because different societies evolved differently.
Explanation:
Disparity:
Already the society was divided according to the rules of varna in large parts of the subcontinent. These rules were prescribed by the Brahamanas and accepted by the rulers of large kingdoms. The gap between the high and low, and rich and poor, widened. This hierarchy between social classes grew further under the Delhi Sultans and the Mughals.
Tribal Societies:
The social rules and rituals prescribed by the Brahamanas were not followed by many societies. Nor were these societies divided into numerous unequal classes. We call such societies tribes. Members of each tribe had kinship bonds amongst them.
Occupation of Tribes:
Some of the tribes were engaged in agriculture for their livelihood. Others were hunter-gatherers or herders. Since agriculture was seasonal in nature, they made maximum use of the natural resources by often combining both these.
Interdependence between societies :
Though sometimes there were conflicts between the caste-based societies and tribal societies, they were dependent on each other for diverse needs. This dependence played a vital role in changing both the societies.
