<span>The Vaishya failed to change their status but gained other advantages. Since 1950, the country has enacted many laws and social initiatives to protect and improve the socioeconomic conditions of its lower caste population. These caste classifications for college admission quotas, job reservations and other affirmative action initiatives, according to the Supreme Court of India, are based on heredity and are not changeable.[16][a] Discrimination against lower castes is illegal in India under Article 15 of its constitution, and India tracks violence against Dalits nationwide.</span>

what factors led to the development of the atlantic trade system between Europe, Africa, and the America’s ?
RoseWind [281]
Main causes:
Importance of growth in colonies
Shortage of labor
Failure to find alternative sources of labor
The legal position
Racial attitudes
Religious factors
Military factors

Brief explanation:

Increasing numbers of slaves were transported across the Atlantic because of the new form of farming that developed in the European colonies of the New World.

European farmers attempted to use native populations as a source of labour, which proved difficult. However, tha did not stop the development of the New Word.

With new land available, labourers were always tempted to leave their job and start their own farm. Wages needed to be high enough to tempt them to stay, reducing the planters’ profit margins.

The status of slaves as property was long established. The use of the property law meant that the enslaved were not considered humans, but commodities.

Several ideas from the time supported the enslavement of Africans:

Africans were seen as more suited to work on the plantations

African captives would be executed if the slave trade was abolished

African slaves were seen as benefitting from being looked after by the superior Europeans

Some Bible passages were used to justify slavery. In Genesis Noah placed the 'curse of Ham' on the descendents of his son, starting with his grandson Canaan.
