Question

state any two changes in the caste system that were evident in the later vedic period​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The caste system in India is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. It has origins in ancient India, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern India, especially the Mughal Empire and the British Raj.It is today the basis of educational and job reservations in India.The caste system consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.

The caste system as it exists today, is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the Mughal era and the rise of the British colonial regimein India. The collapse of the Mughal era saw the rise of powerful men who associated themselves with kings, priests and ascetics, affirming the regal and martial form of the caste ideal, and it also reshaped many apparently casteless social groups into differentiated caste communities. The British Raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration.Between 1860 and 1920, the British segregated Indians by caste, granting administrative jobs and senior appointments only to Christians and people belonging to certain castes.Social unrest during the 1920s led to a change in this policy.From then on, the colonial administration began a policy of divisive as well as positive discrimination by reserving a certain percentage of government jobs for the lower castes. In 1948, negative discrimination on the basis of caste was banned by law and further enshrined in the Indian constitution, however the system continues to be practiced in India with devastating social effects.

Answer 2

Two changes in the caste system that were evident in the later Vedic-period​.

Explanation:

• Firstly, it was evident from the early Vedic texts that the caste system was not restricted and there was enough space for social mobility at that time. But in later Vedic time, the caste system becomes more rigid.
• Secondly, in the Later-Vedic period caste mobility become prohibited and the upper two castes enjoyed more power and exploited Shudras. The texts written in the later Vedic period forced this structure on society and breaking it was considered as an evil norm.
