The caste system closely mirrors the British class system

All countries have natural fault lines in social society. The fact that the Indian fault lines closely match British social fault lines is no coincidence. Other ‘young’ democracies have developed social fault lines that look very different from the old colonial societies they stemmed from. The United States, for example, is divided by race and political affiliation. In Malaysia, another nation that emerged from British colonialism, social divides naturally fell along ethnic lines. However, in India, the caste system divides society into antiquated constructs of hereditary status. The castes remain closely affiliated with family occupation and wealth in the same way British society remains divided by class. This is no coincidence. It is because the caste system was a British construct and imposed on Indian social society.

[P1] The Indian caste system looks very similar to the British class system. [P2] Therefore, the British likely invented the Indian caste system.
