Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During the postclassical era, the caste system became more entrenched and secure in southern India than ever before. It became an integral part of Hinduism and was closely linked to religious beliefs and practices. This led to greater social and economic divisions within Indian society. The arrival of Islam did not abolish the caste system, as it was mostly confined to Hindu areas, and over time, the Muslim population developed its own social hierarchy. The caste system was not merged into modern Buddhist thought either, as Buddhism rejected the caste system altogether.
