The caste system in Nepal can be traced back to the introduction of Muluki Ain (1854) by Jung Bahadur Rana after his return from his European tour. The Muluki Ain (1854) was a written version of social code that had been in practice for several centuries in Nepal. Its caste categories diverged from the four varnas of the classical Vedic model and instead had three categories to accommodate the tribal peoples between the pure and impure castes. These were further classified into five hierarchies with the following order precedence. (Harka Gurung 2005:3,O ...

The caste system appears to have been introduced to Sri Lanka by Aryan-language-speakers from North India. There is evidence of the main vedic castes in the early Anuradhapura era. The introduction of Buddhism in the 3rd century BCE somewhat blunted the edge of the system somewhat. However, there is a reference to King Dutugemunu Abhaya's son, Saliya choosing to lose caste by marrying Asokamala, a Chandala (outcaste) woman, in the 2nd century BCE. The later caste system seems to have evolved as much through waves of ethnic migration a ...

The Arabic word "dhimmi" is an adjective derived from the noun "dhimma", which means "being in the care of" or "Protected/Guilty". The term initially applied to "People of the Book" living in lands under Muslim rule, namely Jews and Christians. Over time Muslims extended this category to Zoroastrians, Mandeans, and Sikhs. Many, but not all, extend this to Hindus. Traditional Arab historiography traces the origin of the dhimma to the Pact of Umar [1], allegedly drawn up by the second caliph, Umar ibn al-Khattab. Modern historian Hugh G ...

The religious and legal views on the status of dhimmis have historically been a practical issue, but today have become a purely theoretical or theological issue for many Muslim societies. Few if any countries currently have a separate, legally-defined status for dhimmis. Certain Islamist organizations such as Al Qaeda, Taliban and Hizb ut-Tahrir seek to make Islamic law, including dhimma status, applicable in Muslim-majority states. Some Muslim authors present the dhimmi as being equal to Muslims. For example: "Islam does ...

Anthropologists use the term more generally to refer to a social group that is endogamous and occupationally specialized; such groups are common in highly stratified societies with a very low degree of social mobility. Broadly understood, South Africa during the era of apartheid, the practice of slavery in the antebellum South of the United States through the Civil Rights movement, colonial Latin America under Spanish and Portuguese rule (see Casta), and India prior to 1947 were al ...

Caste - Modern perceptions of caste. Whilst the ancient Vedas are said to talk about only four varnas or castes, contemporary India has numerous sub-castes (jatis) within each Varna, officially documented (primarily to determine those deserving reservation, an affirmative action process similar to and pre-dating the US system) through the census. Caste-based politics have strong roots in many Indian states, as most politicians have an inability or unwillingness to discuss economic and social issues in any rationa ...

Wasabi (Japanese: 山葵 or 和佐比; Wasabia japonica, Cochlearia wasabi, or Eutrema japonica) is a member of the cabbage family. Known as Japanese horseradish, its root is used as a spice and has an extremely strong flavor.

The plant grows naturally along stream beds in mountain river valleys in Japan. There are also other species used, such as W. koreana, and W. t ...

A series of bombings in June of 1919 sparked the FBI to more aggressive actions. The mayor of Seattle received a homemade bomb in the mail on April 28, which was defused. Senator Thomas W.
