What was the social hierarchy of post classical china and india (600 to 1450 C.E.) ?

Q. I cannot find a simple explnation of this on google. All I need is a top to bottom list of the classes.

A. India has made the most inventions and discoveries!! India's intellectual contribution is more than every other civilization combined! The 19th and 20th centuries are the only 2 centuries that India was not the wealthiest civilization on the face of the planet. From when time began, up until, and including the 17th century, India was the centre of the world & was also the wealthiest civilization on the planet! THE WEALTH IN ANCIENT INDIA WAS MORE THAN TWICE THE WEALTH OF THE REST OF THE WORLD COMBINED! India is the world's oldest and oldest continuing civilization I will give you a few quotes for you to make up your mind:

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.
- Albert Einstein

If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India.
- Max Mueller (German scholar)

India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.
- Mark Twain

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.
- French scholar Romain Rolland

Besides the discoverers of geometry and algebra, the constructors of human speech, the parents of philosophy, the primal expounders of religion, the adepts in psychological and physical science, how even the greatest of our biological and theologians seem dwarfed! Name of us any modern discovery, and we venture to say that Indian history need not long be searched before the prototype will be found on record. Here we are with the transit of science half accomplished, and all our Vedic ideas in process of readjustment to the theories of force correlation, natural selection, atomic polarity and evolution. And here, to mock our conceit, our apprehension, and our despair, we may read what Manu said, perhaps 10,000 years before the birth of Christ: The first germ of life was developed by water and heat. Water ascends towards the sky in vapors; from the sun it descends in rain, from the rains are born the plants, and from the plants, animals.
-Louis Francois Jacolliot (French diplomat & author)

The multiplicity of the manifestations of the Indian genius as well as their fundamental unity gives India the right to figure on the first rank in the history of civilized nations. Her civilization, spontaneous and original, unrolls itself in a continuous time across at least thirty centuries, without interruption, without deviation. Ceaselessly in contact with foreign elements which threatened to strangle her, she persevered victoriously in absorbing them, assimilating them and enriching herself with them. Thus she has seen the Greeks, the Scythians, the Afghans, the Mongols to pass before her eyes in succession and is regarding with indifference the Englishmen - confident to pursue under the accidence of the surface the normal course of her high destiny.
-Sylvain Levi (French Orientalist)

Since you also mention China, here is a quote from Hu Shih, the former Ambassador of China to USA:

"India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border."

Any one who has even a half - decent grasp of history would not even utter China in the same breath as India as India is a much more ancient civilization that has contributed a hell of a lot more than China! In fact, The Chinese learnt Yoga, martial arts and Buddhism from India! The first priest of the Shaolin Temple was from India! So let us understand human history before we make ludicrous comparisons!


An Appropriate Wedding Gift from an American visiting the Irish Couple?
Q. I am friends with both the bride and groom (closer to the bride). He's actually from India and she's from Ireland & the wedding will be a "traditional" Irish Catholic wedding.

They've both lived in the US for the past 10 years, so it wouldn't be overly special if I brought something specifically "american" over to Ireland for them. So I was thinking of going the other route, to go with their theme of a traditional Irish Catholic wedding.

But as I am not an Irish national, nor am I catholic, what would be a good gift? Any ideas?

A. I agree with the two people up there. Give them something that is useful. Most Irish/Catholic stores have great gift ideas! A horseshoe with an enscription on it would be kind of neat; or anything basically that the bride and groom could have to remember their wedding day. Practical is nice (anyone can buy a blender); but sentimental is better! But before you go to all the trouble to find a Irish/Catholic store, give yourself a bit of a break! I'm sure something that MEANS something and is from the heart, would be just as good! Goodluck! <3


If I carry laptop with me from US to India as a gift, will I be charged custom duties? How much will it be?
Q. I will be carrying 2 laptops.

A. It depends whether you declare the extra laptop as a gift or not. I don't know about India, but most countries will charge duty on an item such as a laptop if you declare that you are bringing it in as a gift. Most countries won't even check you, but you never know if they will or not. Some countries will make note of the fact you are bringing the laptops in, and if you don't have them on the way out out of the country you will then have to pay duty on them. It's probably a good idea to bring the receipt just in case you have to pay duty, otherwise they may place an inflated value on it and charge you more than they should, of course it could work the other way around, too. As long as you don't have to declare it on the customs form and don't lie about if you are asked, just don't say anything and you'll probably be fine and not have to pay anything.
