Explanation:
In today’s modern world, girls go to school and study with boys. After growing up, they go to colleges and universities and take up jobs after that. Before getting legally married, they have to be adults and can marry anyone they like, irrespective of their caste and community, and widows can remarry too. All women can vote and stand for elections. But these rights were not enjoyed by poor people as they had little or no access to education.
But, things were different two hundred years ago. At an early stage, most children were married. In some parts of the country, women were forced to practice sati. Women’s rights to property were also restricted and there was no access to education.
According to the caste system, Brahmans and Kshatriyas were considered as “upper castes”. Others, such as traders and moneylenders (often referred to as Vaishyas) were placed after them. Then came peasants, and artisans such as weavers and potters referred to as Shudras. The lowest rung were those who laboured to keep cities and villages clean or worked under upper castes. The upper castes considered these groups as “untouchable”.
