The caste system in India during British raj: (1872- 1941)

Rimsha Javed

Abstract: 

For the first time in the history of India caste system came into the limelight due to British rule. Before the British Raj, caste was just an instrument that did not rule the lives of Indians. This study gauges the modification of the caste system brought during the British Raj and explains the process for the caste system receiving exponential importance. It also discusses the course of making the caste system the center of gravity in all the social spheres of Indian society. British manipulation of the caste system has deeply changed the flavor of Indian society, which certainly can not be reversed by any means.
