All the knowledge related to the Vedic Period (C. 1750-500 BCE) in which the Indo-Aryans brought specific religious tradition, plus their farming and agricultural practices to northern India - area in which they settled - is extracted from the Vedas. Known as the oldest scriptures in the Hindu religion, these historic records were composed by the Aryans in Sanskrit.

Originated in Ancient India, the Castes are social structures in which people were (and still are although to a lesser extent) ranked, named, married, and were part of a family/group that provided certain obligations and a level of status, all of it just defined by birth.

Answer to question 2 is C. A system of social classes based on birth evolved.
