| The Caste System |
Today's Focus Question What impact did the Aryans have on ancient and modern India?
India's Vedic Age: Guided Reading Today
we are going to continue to learn about the impact the Aryans had on
ancient and modern India. We will read about what their lives were like
and some of their early religious beliefs (which would later become part
of the foundation of the religion of Hinduism). Specifically, we will
try to understand the Varna system (which the caste system evolved
from). As you read and learn about the caste system from multiple
sources, you will take notes using the Caste System - Study Guide (which can be found in your Social Studies Google Classroom).
Videos: The Caste System and the Untouchables While
the caste system has changed and evolved since the days of the
Indo-Aryans, it is still an established part of Indian society today. In
the videos below, pay special attention to the role and treatment of
Dalits (the modern name for untouchables). Continue to use your Caste System - Study Guide to take notes.
