Original Note:
The British did not create the caste system. The system originated c.1583 years ago, during the Gupta dynasty, possibly during the reign of Chandragupta the Second or Kumaragupta the First. Brahminical canon says the fourfold varna system is as old as creation. https://archaeonewsnet.com/2016/02/the-caste-system-has-left-its-mark-on.html https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/blogs/folk-theorem/a-look-at-how-and-when-indias-caste-system-emerged/ https://www.deccanherald.com/india/caste-originated-during-gupta-dynasty-2045498
