What is NOT true about the caste system? |
The ideal order of caste system was laid down in Dharamsutras and Dharmashastras. In this order, Brahmins were placed at the top, while untouchables at the bottom. Positions within the order were supposedly determined by birth. None of the above. |
None of the above. |
The correct answer is option 4- None of the above. Caste refers to a set of hierarchically ordered social categories. The ideal order was laid down in the Dharmasutras and Dharmashastras. Brahmanas claimed that this order, in which they were ranked first, was divinely ordained, while placing groups classified as Shudras and “untouchables” at the very bottom of the social order. Positions within the order were supposedly determined by birth. |
