Apartheid was the name of a system of rational discrimination unique to South Africa. The

white Europeans imposed this system on South Africa during the 17th and 18th centuries, the

trading companies from Europe occupied it with arms and force, in the way they occupied

India but unlike India, a large number of whites had settled in South Africa and became the

local rulers. The system of apartheid divided the people and labelled them on the basis of

their skin colour. The native people of South Africa are black in colour. They made up about

three fourth of the population and were called ‘blacks’. Besides these two groups there were

people of mixed races who were called ‘coloured’ and people who migrated from India. The

white rulers treated all non-whites as inferiors. The non-white did not have voting rights.
