Hindi British period what new opportunities open that were regarded as low
Answers
Many new opportunities for the people belonging to lower castes came up during the British period. They worked in municipal corporations as sweepers and sewage cleaners. They also involved in the building of roads, digging of drains etc. Many of them also went to find work in plantations and mines in Assam, Bihar, Trinidad and Mauritius. This was an opportunity to them to move away from the hold of the upper caste people residing in villages. They also found opportunities in the army.
The poor from the villages and small towns, many of them from low castes, began moving to the cities where there was a new demand for labour. Some also went to work in plantations in Assam, Mauritius, Trinidad and Indonesia. The poor and the people from low castes saw this as an opportunity to get away from the oppressive hold that upper-caste landowners exercised over their lives and the daily humiliation they suffered.
