Question:
Caste has NOT spread into which of the following non-Hindu communities of Indian sub-continent?
Options:
Muslims
Sikhs
Christians
None of the above
Correct Answer:
None of the above
Explanation:
Caste is an institution uniquely associated with the Indian sub-continent. While social arrangements producing similar effects have existed in other parts of the world, the exact form has not been found elsewhere. Although it is an institution characteristic of Hindu society, caste has spread to the major non-Hindu communities of the Indian sub-continent. This is specially true of Muslims, Christians and Sikhs.
