This would be an advantage because the early Indians were able to categorize themselves as separate people from the Aryans. This would also be useful if they wanted to disperse the Aryans from their community one day. As time past, however, this difference faded due to intermarriage and the caste system took on new meaning. Now the people of the early Indian society categorized themselves by Varna. Varna consist of the types of jobs a person has in that society which consist of Brahmins (priest), kshatriyas ( warriors and aristocrats), vaishyas (cultivators, artisans, and merchants), and shudras (landless peasants and serfs).
Likewise, the Ganesha’s sacred text is the book, Puranas. Doaism’s higher being is called the Dao; the Anslem’s higher being is the Christian God; and the religion of Ganesha’s higher being is the Hindu god, Ganesha. They all have followers, which are Dao’s Chinese followers, Anslem’s Christian followers, and Ganesha’s Hindu followers. The Dao and Anslem are different from Ganesha because they do not use idols for worship. They sacrifice for their religion, and their religious thought depends upon their social class.
Each department had its own hierarchal management structure – the result of the caste system supported by Hinduism. The Gupta Empire was divided into provinces, each of which had viceroys who were appointed from amongst the members of the royal family. The provinces were sub-divided into districts, each with a separate administrative center. Just like in the Mauryan Empire the caste system shaped the political structure in the Gupta. Buddhism, another belief practiced by the great Asoka Maurya, did not support the caste system and was, just like the Chinese Daoism, a religion of pure salvation which practiced elimination of desire in order to achieve a higher spiritual status or nirvana.
All these findings provide the evidence of the theory that the Indus Valley Civilization gave a birth to the Hinduism. However, there is a theory that states that the Aryans, which is the Indo-European culture, occupied India and as a result, influenced on the Sanskrit language and the Vedic religion that are foundational to Hinduism. Also, this article states that the ancient people who lived in the Indus Valley are supposed to have a Dravidian language and culture, which eventually became secondary to that of the occupying people. Followers of the “Aryan Invasion” hypothesis claim that there are resemblances between the ancient Iranian religion Zoroastrianism and
Communists do not stand apart from other workers, but are made up of the most advanced political sections of the working class. Marx says that Communists have been "reproached" for desiring to abolish the "right" of acquiring private property through the fruits of one's labor. However, he points out laborers do not acquire any property through their labor. Marx said " we communists have been reproached with the desire of abolishing the right of personally……..to be the groundwork of all personal freedom, activity and independence.” (374) Marx wanted to abolish all individuality freedom, and independence. Marx argument was against the "infamous" communist proposal of abolishing the family.
They shared their culture with the Achaens and Dorians of Ancient Greece and Rome but adapted their ways to those of the Indus River valley. The culture that developed as a result of this convergence of cultural beliefs was very different from that of their ancestors. Modern-day Indian spirituality is based on the foundations of Indo-Aryan texts such as the Rig Veda, “one of the oldest Indo-European literary/philosophical works,” and the Upanishads. The focus of the Rig Veda is “rituals and prayers that lead to acceptance of earthly life.” The gods featured in the Rig Veda are “personifications of natural forces” just as the gods of early Greece. The Upanishads takes a turn away from the phenomena of natural forces and focuses on the “inner life and transcendental
And in second place, as Marion Kelly states, “the laws, and the methods by which they were administered, not only were inadequate to protect the rights of the commoners, but they often permitted and intensified the oppressive control over commoners”. The laws that abolished the traditional land use rights, approved by the government, made it easier for the Hawaiian authority to take control over the most of Hawaii. It is evident that the real truth behind this conspiracy is that the konohiki chiefs planned on owning as much land as they could, and they didn’t care how much little land the tenants would end up

Then there were people who weren’t even considered part of the caste system: the Dalits. The Dalits were the “Untouchables”, and were considered impure. In Hinduism, purity was a key decision in the caste. The birth of a person is based on their traditional contact with impurities such as blood, dirt, pollution, etc. The restrictions between the castes are because of how much impurity each caste
