Every civilization has a social structure. But, did you know that in Ancient India, people were born into their social position in life? Now imagine you can travel back in time to this ancient civilization. You will experience India's caste system with online discovery, games, and journal writing. Reincarnation is at hand, which caste will you be born into? "When they divided Purusa, how many ways did they apportion him? What was his mouth? What were his arms? What were his thighs, his feet declared to be? His mouth was the Brahmin [caste], his arms were the Rajanaya [Kshatriya caste], his thighs the Vaishya [caste]; from his feet the Shudra [caste] was born." --Rig Veda concerning the origin of the members of the Caste System Credit: http://teachers.eusd.k12.ca.us/mguerena/castewebquest/index.htm |
