1). The caste or group that made up the largest proportion of the population was considered to be "the general category".
2). The castes or groups that made up the smallest proportion were considered to be from disadvantaged backgrounds and underrepresented in India. In modern times, they would refer to the Dalits, an official term used for those experiencing discrimination or untouchability. While percentage-wise they may have been a minority, they have still faced persecution and marginalization throughout history. It is believed that this contributed to their lack of representation during the pre-independence period as well as their continued disadvantages today.
3). Casteism has a long history in South Asia where there is evidence indicating its existence since BCE periods (Before Common Era). It has been present in Indian society for thousands of years and has greatly influenced the politics, economics and social structures throughout their history. However, for many years this was not an issue that concerned the public or the government as it was normalized. Thus, during pre-independence times casteism continued to be practiced with little change in modern India.
Hey there!
Your question states: <span>Why did the Pilgrims settle at Plymouth instead of in Virginia?
Based on my information, the reason why they settled in Plymouth instead on Virginia was because there were dealing with harsh weather and they were blown of course.
Your correct answer would be </span><span>The Pilgrims were blown off-course by a storm and landed far to the north.
Hope this helps.

There's no real certainty as to what caused it. There's multiple factors but two factors that are important are:
There was too many parties to vote for so no one party ever got enough support, and there were many splinter parties popping up because of it
Also, in an emergency, the president did NOT need the agreement of the Reichstag, but could issue decrees. In the end Hitler took advantage of this shaky situation to take power.
Notably, Weimar has many economical and political issues going on, as well all cultural, but the two I talked about, are probably most notable.
