Question

Why did that the centery social reformer want to abolish cast inequality in India?

Answer 1

The 19th century social reformers wanted to abolish caste inequalities in India because:

The caste system was inhumane and absolutely deplorable

It sought discrimination and social exclusion of those belonging to the lower castes

Such people were not allowed to enter public places like temples

They could take up only menial jobs

They were often relegated to living in deplorable conditions

They were deemed untouchables

Their clothing codes were also formulated by the people of the upper castes

They were denied the very ethos of right to life and right to freedom..
