Question 1 of 5
1. Question
2 pointsConsider the following statements:
- In Rigveda, agriculture has been considered the occupation of the conquered people.
- Being a pastoral society, the number of goddesses in the Rigveda Devkula is very few.
Which of the statements given above are correct?
Correct
ANSWER: C
Explanation:
Rigvedic religious beliefs were influenced by the material life of the time. Since the society was basically based on pastoralism, its social idea was that of a male-dominated society. Therefore, the number of gods in the RigvedicDevakul was much more than that of the goddesses. The Rigvedic gods were actually human manifestations of natural forces. Agriculture was not the basic occupation of the Rigvedic Aryans, but it was the basic occupation of the local castes whom the Aryans had in various ways defeated in wars or incorporated themselves through social union. That is why in the Rigveda it has been called the business of conquerors. However, in the later Vedic period, agriculture became the main occupation of the people.Incorrect

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
2 pointsConsider the following effects of the development of feudalism after the post-Gupta period:
- The village-based economy developed.
- Subcastes were created rapidly due to the disintegration of the social system.
- Local styles developed in the field of architecture.
Which of the statements given above is/are not correct?
Correct
ANSWER: D
Explanation:
- By the end of the Gupta period, the urban economy had been destroyed. Internal and international trade was severely affected by the political turmoil, which accelerated the decline of the city-based economy. Due to this, the centres of the village economy started to develop.
- The development of the village-based economy developed a sense of social contraction and narrow-mindedness, sharp divisions into different caste classes for the performance of different functions. Most of the division took place among the castes falling in the lower status than the Shudras.
- Due to the development of feudalism, there was an increase in the number of small states and rulers at the political level, which affected the local architecture. Especially on the art of temple building. Because temples played an important role in providing state recognition to the feudal lords within the subjects and also indirectly provided divine recognition.
