Module: | Jainulabdeen's Routine & Austerity
Q50: Consider the following statements regarding the specific societal dividers mentioned in Jainulabdeen's philosophy of the cosmos:

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
✅ Correct Answer: C
🎯 Quick Answer:
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. The cosmos knows no division of wealth, age, caste, or creed.Structural Breakdown: Jainulabdeen targets four specific pillars of worldly division: economic (wealth), biological (age), social (caste), and religious (creed), systematically neutralizing all of them in the cosmic state.
Historical/Related Context: In early 20th century India, caste and creed were deeply entrenched determinants of a person's life trajectory.
A philosophy that totally discarded these in favor of universal cosmic citizenship was deeply progressive.
Causal Reasoning: Statement 2 is incorrect because the text explicitly includes "caste" in the list of divisions that the cosmos does not recognize, demonstrating his father's fearless commitment to egalitarianism.
