LEGACY SIGNIFICANCE
1. The caste system, The caste system is significant in the modern
which where world. Although it is not being practice or
comprised of the used we can still observe that there are still
Brahmana at the people who recognized this. The legacy of the
top, the Kshatriya, Indian helps us determine the status of the

Shudra and the people struggle from poverty. Knowing that

the untouchables. With this we can see division and inequality in
the modern world. This caste system helps us to
know the history of things, it gave us
knowledge on did social discrimination started.
2. Buddhism that was Buddhism is not a religion this is practice.
found by Siddhartha Buddhism has a special role to play in the
Gautama modern world because unlike many other
religious traditions, Buddhism uniquely
propounds the concept of independence which
accords closely with the fundamental notions of
modern science. Buddhism encourages its people
to avoid self-indulgence but also self-denial.
Buddha's most important teachings, known as The
Four Noble Truths, are essential to
understanding the religion. Buddhists embrace
the concepts of karma (the law of cause and
effect) and reincarnation (the continuous cycle
of rebirth).
3. The arts of India The arts of India have strongly influenced the
world. For example, in many Southeast Asian
nations, people perform plays based on the
ancient Sanskrit epic the Mahabharata. The
Bhagavad Gita has been translated into many
languages and is read around the world. Indian
art and architecture have shaped other
cultures. For example, ancient Indian artists
developed visual symbols to show the Buddha's
holiness.
4. The legacy of The numerals we use originated in India. People
Indian in in India have been using the numerals for 1 to
Mathematics 9 for more than 2,000 years. Arab traders
brought these numerals to the West. As a
result, we call them Arabic numerals, or Hindu-
Arabic numerals.

The number system first developed in India

and used today is called the decimal system.
The name comes from the Latin word decem, which
means "ten." In a number such as 5,555, each
numeral is worth ten times as much as the
 numeral to its right. The place of a numeral—
the ones place, the tens place, the hundreds
place, and so on—tells how much that numeral is
worth. And until now in this modern we still
use this.
5. Hinduism In this modern world we can see how people were
affected and still practice Hinduism. There are
people who do yoga’s and meditation which help
the person to relax and find internal peace
towards themselves. The practice of Ahimsa, or
non-violence, is a widely practiced Hindu
teaching around the world. Ahimsa doesn’t only
apply towards humans, but animals as well (from
the smallest of insects, to the biggest of
mammals). The teachings of Ahimsa are the main
factors in the rising vegetarian/vegan
population. Many people who have transitioned
to vegetarianism/veganism feel as though they
are contributors towards this systematic abuse
and cruelty within the food industry, and no
longer want to be patrons of such an inhumane
construction. Hinduism’s impact on philosophy,
literature, fashion, art, religion and the
world as a whole is one that will continue to
have an important role on human society
religious or not.
