What is British Indian Caste System?
What many people don't know is that the current form of cast system originated because of the British intervention in India. They engineered the concept of caste by providing jobs based on caste..
for example the Brahmans were preferred for administrative jobs as they were good intellectually and followed directions ( rubber stamp)
and the concept of martial race which preferred certain casts to get jobs in the military.. etc so what jobs you did started depending on your caste..
this basically made the caste system more rigid and the rich became richer and the poor became poorer..
You can Google for more information. The British have played a major role in the caste system epidemic in India..
