There were caste differences which also effected the social life of the people, religion has always influenced the social life of the people and along with that it has also influenced the economic and political life of the people as well.
But in the recent times, with the development of the science and technology and with the increase in the standards of living, religion has somewhat taken a back seat. Though people still follow religion with the same piousness, there are lot of people who do not follow it as well. The people of newer generation have given more importance to science and technology. But again they cannot deny the fact that religion is still an important part of our life and we still pray to God in times of happiness as well as times of need.
