But like any Indian living in the twenty-first century, you also know that something called caste is definitely a part of Indian society today. 

QUESTION: 2

What is the word most commonly used to refer to the institution of caste in Indian languages?

• A.Jati
• B.Sakti
• C.Jaati
• D.None

Solution:

Jati is the word most commonly used to refer to the institution of caste in Indian languages. However, it is interesting to note that, increasingly, Indian language speakers are beginning to use the English word caste. The precise relationship between varna and jati has been the subject of much speculation and debate among scholars.

QUESTION: 3

How many major divisions were determined in the Varna system?

What kind of system is the society consisting of all castes?

• A.Anarchistic
• B.Relational

QUESTION: 7

When did Indian independence occur?

• A.Robert
• B.Herbert Risley 
• C.William Bentik
• D.None

• A.Oppression
• B.Neo-Colonialism
• C.Colonialism

• A.Partition

• C.Urbanisation 
• D.None

• A.Aristotle
• B.Bendit
• C.Nehru
• D.M.N Srinivas

Solution:

Perhaps the most common of these are Sanskritisation and dominant caste, both contributed by m.n Srinivas but discussed extensively and criticized by other scholars.

• A.Capitalist 
• B.Imperialist
• C.Neoliberal
• D.Socialist

Solution:

The capitalist economy’s drive to exploit forest resources and minerals and to recruit cheap labor brought tribal societies in contact with the mainstream society a long time ago. However, the colonial era’s early anthropological work had described tribes as isolated cohesive communities. Colonialism had already brought irrevocable changes in their world.

QUESTION: 15

The industrial areas of what state have suffered a dilution of the tribal share of the population?

• A.Bihar
• B.Jamshedpur
• C.Haryana
• D.Jharkhand 

Solution:

The industrial areas of Jharkhand have suffered a dilution of the tribal share of the population. Similar pressure is being felt in Arunachal Pradesh. Today, this interactional process is formed rather than any primordial (Orginal, ancient) characteristics peculiar to tribes. Because the interaction with the mainstream has generally been on terms unfavorable to the tribal communities, many tribal identities today are centered on ideas of resistance and opposition to the overwhelming force of the non-tribal world—the positive impact of successes.
