ndisputable that the caste system has been changing. Change has always been present, though its rate in the different aspects of the system has not been uniform. Changes in the caste system entail three types of changes such as structural change, functional change and attitudinal change. Structural Changes: (i) Decline in the supremacy of the Brahmins: There has been a sharp decline in the supremacy of the Brahmins in society. In the past, the Brahmin occupied the topmost position in the caste hierarchy. But today consequent upon the process of modernization the dominance of the Brahmins has been relegated to the background. He does not enjoy the same social status, which he once used to. (ii) Changes in the Caste hierarchy: The caste system is no longer a clearly demarcated system of hierarchically-ordered caste groups. As a result of certain factors such as occupational diversification, migration to urban areas, mechanisation of agriculture, boundaries between caste groups are tending to blur or break down. There is an increasing degree of interpenetration between different groups, classes and categories. A gradual lessening of the congruence between caste, class and power is visible. (iii) Protection of the Harijans: The governmental policy of protective discrimination has gone a long WAY in improving the socio -economic conditions of the Harijans. Consequently, their social status has improved to a considerable extent. Functional Changes: (i) Change in the fixation of status: In a caste society, BIRTH was taken as the EXCLUSIVE basis of social status. But in the changing social scenario, birth no longer constitutes the basis of social prestige. Criteria such as wealth, ability, education, efficiency etc. have become the determinants of social status. The significance of caste as an ascriber of status has been relegated to the background. (ii) Change with regard to occupation: ADVERTISEMENTS:  So far as caste system is concerned, the individual had no choice but to follow the occupation ascribed to him by his caste. But today occupation is not the hereditary monopoly of any caste any more. One is free to take up any occupation he likes according to his ability and interest. Mahatma Gandhi’s MOVEMENT preaching dignity of labor has drawn higher castes to dirty-hand callings while education has opened white- collar occupations for members of lower castes. (iii) Changes in marriage restrictions: Under the caste system endogamy was the basis of mate-selection. The members of a caste or sub-caste were forbidden by an inexorable social law to marry OUTSIDE the group. But at present the Special Marriage Act, 1954 and the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 have removed endogamic restrictions and declared inter-caste marriages as legally valid. Of late, several factors such as impact of western philosophy, co­education, working together of males and females of different castes in the same factory or office have contributed to an increase in the cases of inter-caste marriage, love-marriage and late-marriage. (iv) Change in commensality: In the traditional system, the unit of commensality was defined fairly rigidly in terms of caste affiliation. In recent times, there has been a gradual expansion of this unit. Today, Brahmins are inter dining with ‘clean’ Shudras. They do not hesitate to take kachha food from other clean castes. Furthermore, they do not hesitate to accept food and water from the members of the lower castes for fulfillment of their political ends. (v) Change in the concept of purity and pollution: Kapadia stated that the Hindu concept of purity and pollution was very extensive in its scope and mandatory in its observance till the twenties of this century. Under the caste system occupations were ranked in accordance with their ritual purity. For example, a person coming into contact with a barber was supposed to become impure. Meat, fish, wine etc. were regarded as ritually impure.

the arrival of last Viceroy of India Lord Mountbatten, communal riots (Hindu-Muslim ) broke in Bengal and slowly spread to different parts. For your information The All India Muslim League demanded for creation of a new nation by the name of Pakistan for the Muslim Community, but their demands were initially rejected by the British GOVERNMENT.When the riots broke out, The British sent Lord Mountbatten to deal with the situation as the government was about to transfer the power to Indians but when he ARRIVED here in India, he realized that Cabinet MISSION wouldn’t work here and these riots could only be stopped by the creation of a new Nation by the name of Pakistan.BUTBoth PANDIT Jawaharlal Nehru and Jinnah wanted to be the first Prime Minister of INDIA but if Nehru would have let Jinnah to be the first PM then these riots wouldn’t had been broken as everyone knew that Jinnah was suffering from TB and he would die in about 6 months but he was adamant that he wanted to be the first PM and thus the riots broke out and Lord Mountbatten designed the plan for PARTITION OF INDIA and India was divided on Communal Grounds.

eading this article you will learn about the beginning of English education in India.According to the clause 43 of the CHARTER Act of 1813 the Company had partly undertaken the responsibility of education in India and a sum of one lakh of rupees had been earmarked for the purpose. But no concrete steps were taken in this regard before 1823. The section of the Charter Act of 1813 remained inoperative till 1823. The Company was reluctant initially to spend the money as it had no definite policy and agency with regard to the mode of expenditure of the said amount.This uncertain situation for a dec­ade GAVE rise to educational controversies. At last in 1823 an official agency (the G.C.P.I.) was created to deal with educational matters, particularly the expenditure of the sum of one lakh of rupees. “Thus a state system of edu­cation was begun almost simultaneously in all the three PRESIDENCIES by about 1823 and continued to expand till 1833. The educational grant of India was also increased from one lakh to ten lakhs of rupees per annum”.The then British India was divided into five Provinces – Bengal, Bom­bay, Madras, U.P. and Punjab. The Presidency of Bengal first took up the work of educational reorganisation. The General Committee of Public In­struction was appointed on the 17th July, 1823 with this end in view for the Bengal Presidency.The Committee consisted of ten members including H.T. Prinsep, Thomas Babington Macaulay and H. H. Wilson, who was a GREAT classical scholar. Most of the members of the Committee were admirers of classical or oriental learning. The grant of one lakh of rupees provided by the Charter Act of 1813 was PLACED at the disposal of the Committee.Read more on Brainly.in - brainly.in/question/6862940#readmore

hic Disadvantage: Some regions have a geographic advantage. These include minerals, WATER resources, forest resources etc. Whereas some other places completely lack such resources, which places these regions at a geographic disadvantage. Former regions grow while the latter region lacks development.POLICY: The big bang liberalization policy of 1991, favored more to the capitalist class than the marginalized/backward people. The prevalence of crony capitalism in India helped industrialists to accrue capital at the cost of skilling of labors. It widened the gap between poor and rich and hence, regional inequalities.Political Instability and Security Issues: The regions at the tri-junction of the Indian States, commonly identified as a ‘red corridor’ are malaised with the cancer of Left-Wing Extremism. They are prone to violence and many developmental activities get thrashed by the Naxalites. These regions continue to underperform on many development indicators.Human Resource: A lot DEPENDS upon the quality of human resource. For instance, the States such as Kerala, Tamil NADU, Maharashtra etc has higher literacy, quality of education and hence, these States have grown rapidly. Whereas, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh etc lacked development.Historical Factors: Some States have inherited the growth SINCE the British era. For instance, the current metro cities in India were the important colonial towns. The growth has just got spilled over from these cities to nearby regions. Whereas, there are areas in India, where the government is yet to reach.These are the most common reasons for regional inequality in India.

zon is the world's biggest RAINFOREST, larger than the next two largest rainforests — in the Congo Basin and Indonesia — combined. The AMAZON River is by far the world's largest river by volume. It has over 1,100 tributaries, 17 of which are longer than 1000 miles.The Amazon River once flowed west-ward instead of east-ward as it does today. The rise of the Andes caused it to flow into the Atlantic OCEAN. •The Amazon is thought to have 2.5 million species of insects. More than half the species in the Amazon rainforest are thought to live in the canopy. The Amazon is estimated to have 16,000 tree species and 390 billion individual trees •••••••••••••••••••••Thank you...
