Answer 1

Answer:

a.sorry idk

b.The priests divided people into four groups, called varnas. Acording to them, each varna had a different set of functions. The priests also said that these groups were decided on the basis of birth. Many people did not accept the system of varna laid down by the brahmins. Some people felt that there should be no differences amongst people based on occupation.

Answer 2

• However, Alexander's adoption of Persian customs and eagerness to conquer all the known world sparked friction between the king and his army. The latter was the case with the Hyphasis mutiny. His men were tired and battle-weary, not wanting to venture further into India.

• The people opposed the system of Varnas because it is one of the discriminatory forms of society. It divided people based on caste and religion. It discriminates people and violates their rights to live equal.
