Question

Some members of lower castes attempted to seek upward social mobility by imitating the way of life of Brahmins. Which process is being referred to here?

Answer 1

Sanskritisation

Explanation:

M.N. Srinivas, an Indian sociologist, invented the word "Sanskritisation" to characterize the social mobility strategies used by lower caste individuals in India. Lower castes may absorb habits, rituals, dietary practices, and social standards from higher castes, particularly Brahmins, to improve their social status.
