Responses can be selected and inserted using the space bar, enter key, left mouse button or touchpad. Responses can be moved using the up and down arrow keys or by dragging with a mouse.
While I can't rearrange the responses directly, I can guide you through the typical order of changes in the caste system in India as understood historically:
-
Vedic Period - The caste system originated with the Varna system, categorizing society into four primary groups (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras).
-
Medieval Period - The caste system became more rigid and complex, with the emergence of numerous jatis (sub-castes) based on occupation and region.
-
Colonial Period - British colonial rule led to the codification and documentation of caste, which further entrenched divisions and influenced social dynamics.
-
Post-Independence - The Indian Constitution abolished "untouchability," and affirmative action policies were implemented to mitigate discrimination and uplift marginalized communities.
-
Contemporary Period - Ongoing social movements and education continue to challenge caste-based discrimination, with various reforms and a growing awareness of the need for equality.
You would place these developments in order from the earliest (Vedic Period) to the most recent (Contemporary Period).
