Question

The Aryan's brought with them ideas of Social Class rankings and religion. After learning about both, which do you believe had the bigger impact on Ancient India? Please explain your answer and why in complete sentences.

Answer 1

Class rankings. Much of India live in poverty-something it is well known for. I think the impact of money distribution has had an impact on these peoples lives more than religion could ever effect them. Along with loss of money, the quality of life also disappears: diet, physical condition as well as mental health. Having less money will also affect your social life. The wealthier people may not socialise with the poor as much giving the class of everyone very clear. Religion has also had a clear impact on India, however I belive that the fact that some people can live in endless heaps of money, and some live in second to nothing, and are constantly reminded.of this because of their 'class'. I think this is more important.
