Question

Which of the following was not one of the reason for the rise of Buddhism and Jainism in the 6th century BC.

Answer 1

Answer:

The primary cause for the rise of Jainism and Buddhism was the religious unrest in India in the 6th century B.C. The complex rituals and sacrifices advocated in the Later Vedic period were not acceptable to the common people. The sacrificial ceremonies were also found to be too expensive.
