    Solution

    Buddhism made an important impact by allowing women and Shudras (a social class traditionally considered low in the caste system) into its fold. Buddhism challenged the hierarchical structure of society prevalent at that time and offered a path to spiritual liberation that was open to all individuals, regardless of their gender or social status.
