The correct answer is A and B

Key Points

  • The Early Vedic age lasted from 1500 BC to 1000 BC
  • Rituals like rajasuya, vajapeya, and ashvamedha became widespread in the later Vedic Period.
  • The oldest text of the Vedic Period was Rig Veda.
  • The four Vedas include Rig Veda, Sam Veda, Yajur Veda, and Atharva Veda.

Note: The total Vedic period was 1500 - 500 B.C (Early Vedic + Later Vedic Period).

Additional Information

  • During the Rig Vedic period, the tribal society was divided into three groups—warriors, priests, and the people.
    • The fourth division called the Sudras appeared towards the end of the Rig Vedic period because it is mentioned for the first time in the tenth Book of the Rig Veda, which is the latest addition.
  • There are references to slaves who were given as gifts to the priests in the Rig Vedic period.
    • They were mainly women slaves employed for domestic purposes.
    • It is clear that in Rig Vedic times slaves were not used directly in agriculture or other producing activities. 
  • In the age of the Rig Veda differentiation based on occupation was started but this division was not very sharp as there are references of various families in which different occupations were held within the same family.
  • During the Rig Vedic period, tribal elements in society were stronger and social divisions based on the collection of taxes or accumulation of landed property were absent.
    • ​The society was still tribal and largely egalitarian.
    • It clearly signifies that there was not any evidence of feudalism in the Rig Vedic period.
