    //var a ='1';
    $(".list").draggable({
    helper: 'clone', 
    cursor: 'hand', 
    revert: true,
    drag: function(ev, ui) {    
        dragId = $(this).attr('id');        
        //alert(dragId);
/*      if (dragId==1) {
            dragClass = "drop1";
        }   
*/     /*else {

Answer 1

As far as I understand you need to create a different drop area for each filter

with http://jqueryui.com/demos/droppable/#accepted-elements you can create 4 drop areas and each one accept a special class.

hindu accepts only those with “.hindu”

PTE accepts only those with “.PTE”

I hope this helps
