Answer:

Buddhism appealed to people of lower castes because it emphasized individuals' path to enlightenment and salvation, which could be attained in this life. Buddhism also received state support from Emperor Ashoka, who converted to Buddhism in 260 BCE.

Explanation

At first it was said that Buddhism was more appealing to lower castes since it stated that the path to salvation could be attained in this life. Buddhism's individual outlook and disregard for the caste system in attaining enlightenment were appealing to people in lower castes.

Buddhism appealed to women and people of lower caste because it allowed all people to achieve the highest end point of reincarnation, not just people of a high caste, like Hinduism.
