Caste System : The Politics of British Orientalism
Episode description
We saw that the Varna system was based on the occupation one had. But what defined someone by birth is the Jati of that person - or put in simple words - the caste. The Caste of someone has been a very fragile topic for many. While someone considers it as a fortune, for someone it is a complete nightmare.
But did you know that Caste system was NEVER of Indian Origin? In fact, our Vedas and other important texts definitely speak of all humans being created equal! It was the tyranny of the British Rule that, for their own sake, they introduced such reforms and acts. Only because of this, their administration could function correctly.
But one cannot clap with only one hand, and the other side effect was definitely seen. The caste system definitely was one of the bricks of the walls of destruction among the common people, and did cause a lot of damage. Stay tuned to understand more of hows and whys of this!
