the answeris...

Upton Sinclair

Muckrakers

"Muckrakers" is a name given to a group of writers active between 1902 and 1912 in the United States. At this time, few laws protected workers or consumers. Work conditions were often unsafe. Companies set prices to keep their profits up. The muckrakers wrote articles and books that exposed these corrupt business practices. They thought it was their role to bring social problems to light. They hoped this would advance reform efforts. For instance, Upton Sinclair revealed the filthy conditions in the meatpacking industry in his novel The Jungle.

It was President Theodore Roosevelt who came up with the tag "muckraker." He agreed with these journalists' ideas and also supported reform, but he didn't like the writers' methods. He meant the term as a put-down. He didn't think it was necessary to describe wretched scenes in slums and work places to bring about change. Still, by bringing the public's attention to such problems, the writers did help improve conditions. Sinclair's novel is a case in point. After The Jungle was published, Roosevelt ordered an investigation of the meatpacking industry. The result was the Pure Food and Drug Act. This act ensures that meat and other foods are prepared in a sanitary way. Today, most people associate the term "muckraker" with someone who wants to clean up corruption.

Explanation:

the caste system in india is the paradigmatic ethnographic example of caste. it has origins in ancient india, and was transformed by various ruling elites in medieval, early-modern, and modern india, especially the mughal empire and the british raj.it is today the basis of educational and job reservations in india.it consists of two different concepts, varna and jati, which may be regarded as different levels of analysis of this system.

the caste system as it exists today is thought to be the result of developments during the collapse of the mughal era and the british colonial regime in india. the collapse of the mughal era saw the rise of powerful men who associated themselves with kings, priests and ascetics, affirming the regal and martial form of the caste ideal, and it also reshaped many apparently casteless social groups into differentiated caste communities.the british raj furthered this development, making rigid caste organisation a central mechanism of administration
