2.caste system leads to practice of untouchability in society that has been abolished under Article 17 of Indian constitution.

Ancient India gives us an idea about
- how, when and where the earliest culture developed
-about agriculture settlement
-about discovery of resources for livelihood
- development of village, cities and kingdoms
Many races and tribes intermingled in early India. Indian culture has been the origin of cultural elements from the north and south, and from the east and west. Ancient India also saw the birth of Brahmanism or Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism, but all these cultures and religions intermingled and interacted. That proves unity in diversity but there was also an unusual type of social system which developed in India. The relevance of the past ancient Indian history to the present is shown. The study of ancient Indian history is important to understand the true nature of the past and also to understand the nature of the obstacles that became a pillar for India’s progress as a nation.
