   The Indians had done that already by the time the British invaded.

   The caste system evolved out of a severely misguided interpretation of the older ‘varna’ system – originally analogous to the Western world’s tradition of guilds.

   The caste system was not uniformly Indian. In the South, in places like Kerala and Tamil Nadu, caste restrictions were frequently flouted and there was plenty more intermarrying than in the North. “Duties” associated with “lower” castes would often grant those members temporary passes, and the Brahmin or priestly castes – which technically outranked the nobility, even if the brahmins were in penury – were not all the same.
