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..
