Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Both Buddhism and Jainism were against the caste system; hence, a large portion of the lower caste population followed the religious beliefs of Buddhism and Jainism. Opposition against the caste system was supported by the lower caste communities, who were deprived of social status. Due to the caste system, people from lower caste communities were not allowed to participate in various religious activities, were treated as slaves, and were kept away from basic rights like respect and dignity. Hence, they were attracted to these religions.
