How were the indo-european migrants different from the cultures that already existed in India?
I think that you are referring to the Aryans, who were Indo-European invaders who conquered India about 1,500 B.C. They were nomads who entered India from the northwest. They came from Central Asia, most likely from what is now Iran or Afghanistan. They were either white or at least fair skinned. They were war-like and overran the Dravidian civilization that existed in India. They brought with them their own culture and language (Sanskrit). Modern Hindi is derived from it. They established the Caste system in India with themselves as Brahmins, the highest caste. The Dravidians made up the lower castes. They must have settled mostly in northern India as the people are lighter in complexion than the people of southern India. Even today. And Hindi is spoken in the north. In the south they have many other languages. The people who were conquered were mostly farmers and lived in towns. I hope that this has been a help to you.
India says it does not believe in the caste system then why has it introduces Scheduled Castes in the Constitution of India?
The Constituent Assembly of India strongly believed that the lower caste people who were deprived of the rights of education, social status, etc should be given a chance to enter the main stream of society. Hence they introduced the reservation concept in the constitution. It was to be continued for maybe 10 or 15 years ( exact time frame) initially. Then it should be reviewed by the government. But the subsequent governments didn't abolish( OR lift) the same as they emphasize on caste politics.
Who is sinhalese?
The Sinhala people are descendants of "lower caste" Indians traditionally known as Shudras, mostly from Bengal and Orissa regions of Northern India, and have genetic admixtures of Lankan Tamils who descended from lower caste Indian Tamils. Hence, Sinhala are mostly Australoid (which could be observed from their physical traits & skin tone) with little Caucasoid, although they speak an Indo-Aryan language. According to a genetic admixture study by Dr. Gautam K. Kshatriya performed in 1995, Sinhala Lankans are closely related to Lankan Tamils, followed by Bengalis of India. The study also found that Sinhala, out of all the south Asian groups tested, had the least genetic affinity with western and north-western Indians. However, sometime later, they created a whole new "Lankan caste system" that is subdivided into two major factions, namely Kandyan and southern castes. Each of these groups are further subdivided into a number of sub-castes.
What challenged do you think the caste system caused?
Over time, Hinduism organized India's society into groups called castes. A caste is a social class based on a person's ancestry.

The Caste System still influences Indian life, although laws now forbid unfair treatment of "lower" castes.

Patels are next to brahmins or lower caste?
The Patels, primarily associated with the agricultural and business sectors in India, are generally considered to be part of the broader OBC (Other Backward Classes) category, though their social status can vary regionally. While historically they may have been viewed as higher in social hierarchy compared to some lower castes, the dynamics are complex and can differ across states and communities. In some areas, Patels may have socioeconomic advantages over certain lower castes, but the relationships between castes are influenced by numerous factors, including regional history and economic status.
What injustice did Gandhi experience in India?
Upon his return to India from South Africa, Gandhi observed the injustices that were perpetrated on India's poorest classes or "untouchables."

How are the castes distinguished in Brave New World?
The five castes, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon, distinguish each other based on several factors. First and foremost, each caste wears a different color. Alphas wear gray, Betas wear mulberry, Gammas wear green, Deltas wear khaki, and Epsilons wear black. Also, lower castes are given less oxygen as developing infants, making members of lower castes shorter, and in the case of the Deltas and Epsilons, more physically misshapen and stupid. It is because of these mental shortcomings that lower castes do factory work and upper castes hold jobs such as Directors, Psychiatrists, and Songsters.
Why did the Buddhist teachings about Nirvana appeal to many people of lower castes?
Buddhist teachings about Nirvana appealed to many people of lower castes because they offered a pathway to liberation from the cycle of rebirth and suffering, which was often dictated by the rigid caste system in Hinduism. Buddhism emphasized personal spiritual development and equality, rejecting the hierarchical structures that marginalized lower castes. Additionally, the promise of achieving Nirvana through ethical conduct and meditation provided hope and empowerment to those seeking a more inclusive spiritual practice. This accessibility and focus on individual potential resonated deeply with the disenfranchised.
