The Cast System (By:Gaurav Ganwani 10C)

I think that the Indian cast system was perfectly fine and did not have to be reformed. The Indian people didn't need the help of the British and didn’t need any of their advice. The poor and hopeless African nations needed the help of the British, and needed to follow the "White man's burden”. Because in Africa. They were really poor and needed something to follow. But the Indians didn’t have to. They already had a set of rules and classes, and unlike Africa which was mostly poor India was a wealthy country because of their cotton export. The Indian cast system was that if you are born poor, you will be poor for the rest of your life. If you were rich you would be rich for the rest of your life. The British found this not good according to them. But to the Indians it was normal and they didn’t really have a problem. Because they had had this system forever, I think that the Indians wouldn’t have changed the caste system. But because of the British rule. The British took away the system, and made a new one which was that everyone was equal and no one is more superior than another. So this meant that everyone had the same amount of pay and it was like communism everyone was equal. I think the British people were wrong because if there was a system that India followed for so long it should have stayed like that because everyone was use to it, or at least given them a choice, and see what the Indians wanted.
