Correct answer: (B) Class — Class is not a component of primordialism, so it is the answer.
Explanation
★Class is not a component of primordialism, so it is the answer.
★Primordialism treats identity as fixed, inherited and deeply rooted from birth.
★It rests on attachments such as caste, community, kinship and clan.
★These ties are seen as natural and given rather than chosen.
★Class, by contrast, is an economic and acquired category, not a primordial bond.
★Class belongs to the materialist and Marxist analysis of society.
★So caste, community and clan fit primordialism while class does not.
