It a system that was designed to divide up the population into groups and not allow them to interact to have divided population that the rulers and priests could control through the caste system as this fuled hatered toward everybody not of same or upper caste and allowed them the legitimate control that was needed to control masses. This is was which Dr. Ambedkar were fighting as the country and people of india were incapable to be free unless they are free of the casteism. Brithish used these divisions to cement themselves as the colonial power through the casre divisions and becoming masters of india.

This system of Casteism was as bad for the people subjected to it as was the Racism for the Black people of united states.
