Right or Wrong?

Was it right for the British to reform the Indian caste system? People may argue yes, because it might not have always been fair, but others may say that it was not correct for the British to do so, the reason being that the Indians should have had the right to rule over their own country and make their own decisions. Britain should have stayed out of it. Many people get very annoyed when others don’t mind their own business. In this case, the British came in and made the Indian caste system their business. This is not correct because every nation has the right to sovereignty, or the right to rule itself. The Indians thought that setting up a caste system was a good idea, and the British should have respected that. If it were the other way around, the British would not have been happy with the Indians deciding what they could or couldn’t do in their own country.
