Sanskritisation makes sense when understood in the light of the Hindu tradition. In this sense, Sanskritisation is a unique historical expression of the general process of
Diffusion
Acomodation
Assimilation
Acculturation
- Sanskritisation refers to the process where lower castes adopt the customs, rituals, and practices of upper castes, especially Brahmins, to improve their social status.
- In the context of Hindu tradition, this process is seen as a unique historical way in which Indian society has changed over time.
Option 1: Diffusion
- Diffusion means the spread of cultural elements from one group to another.
- Sanskritisation involves spread, but it is more about changing identity, not just sharing elements.
Option 2: Accommodation
- Accommodation is when different groups adjust to each other without losing their core identity.
- Sanskritisation is about adopting, not just adjusting.
Option 3: Assimilation
- Assimilation is when one group fully adopts another group's culture, losing their original identity.
- Sanskritisation is partially like assimilation, but groups often keep some original traits.
Option 4: Acculturation
- Acculturation is about changes in culture when different cultures are in contact—groups adopt and adapt traits from each other.
- Sanskritisation exactly fits this, as lower castes adopt upper-caste traits to change their social position.
The correct answer is Option 4: Acculturation.
