Question

In the British period what new opportunities opened up for people who came from caste that were regarded as "low"?

Answer 1

Answer:

• The British period saw the rise of the cities.
• Many of the poor living in the Indian villages and small towns at the time began leaving their villages and towns to look for jobs that were opening up in the cities.
• As the cities were growing, there was a great demand for labour—labour for digging drains, laying roads, constructing buildings, working in factories and municipalities, etc.
• This demand for labour was met by the population migrating from the villages and towns.
• There was also the demand for labour in the various plantations, both within the country and abroad.
• The army too offered opportunities for employment.

• Many of these migrating people belonged to the low castes.
• For them, the cities and the plantations represented the opportunity to get away from the oppressive hold that upper-caste landowners exercised over their lives and the daily humiliation they suffered.
