Why were the British not keen on eradicating the caste system prevalent in the society |
|
Answer» To the British, VIEWING the caste system from the OUTSIDE and on a very SUPERFICIAL level, it appeared to be a static system of social ordering that allowed the ruling class or Brahmins, to maintain their power over the other classes. What the British failed to REALIZE was that Hindus existed in a different COSMOLOGICAL frame than did the British. |
