39th B.P.S.C. (Pre) 1994
A. Rigvedic phase
B. Later Vedic phase
C. Later Gupta phase
D. Dharmashastra phase
Answer: Dharmashastra phase
Option d is the correct answer
The Rigvedic (1500-1000) and later vedic(1000-600) period neither mention the concept of untouchable people nor any practice of untouchability. The concept of Untouchability was clearly put in the Dharmashastra phase or Post Vedic Phase(600 BC-200 B.C).
