For example, the British people served as magistrates, sanitations officials, generals, judges, and other high government positions, because of the caste system. Also, Brahmins, and merchants, could easily exploit deals for them, that would make Britain rich and in return, the British Raj may lift the helper’s place in society. There was no reason to abolish the caste system, because it helped the British people gain a lot of money, it gave them power, and it make their supporters happy, because their supporters also wanted to continue the caste system. However, this continuation of the caste system is inherently evil, and was not a wise decision in the long run. This continuity of the caste system is horrific because it oppresses the Dalits and basically treats them as sub-humans. The Dalit’s mere presence and eye contact to anyone is seen as “impure”. These Dalits are so oppressed that they must tie a broom to their hips so their “impure” footsteps are cleared away. They have spittle’s hung around their necks, because a Dalits spit, according to Hindu culture, can “impurify” the whole place. The mere shadow of a Dalit can be “impure” and bad, and thus the Dalits are constantly oppressed, no one cares about…

The Caste System determines the wealth, power and privilege of all human beings. But aside from the belief in tradition and order the Caste System brings about inequality and injustice towards many of society. Members of the higher castes enjoy all kinds of privileges, whereas the lower caste of society are deprived of all privileges, more than 160 million people in India alone are considered "Untouchable.” Oppression plays a huge role during the early ages of the Caste System. The Untouchables were made to fear all those that dominated above them, they were treated inhumanely, Untouchables live in continual fear of being publicly humiliated, paraded naked, beaten, and raped by upper-caste Hindus in reassurance to keep them in place. They were deprived all choice of social, religious, economic, cultural and political rights and privileges. This is considered inequality as the Untouchables have done nothing to deserve such punishment. Walking through an upper-caste neighbourhood is a dangerous wrongdoing. During the beginning of the 1900’s was the time in which justice…
