The Institution of Caste is a clear example of the Brahmins' great cunning. The Brahmins monopolised all advantages through this institution, while Sudras and Ati-Sudras were denied even the most fundamental human rights.
Under Brahminism, the Sudra were treated like animals. His life wasn't more valuable than that of a cat, frog, dog, etc. For example, if a Brahmin kills one of these creatures or a Sudra, he might atone for his transgression by engaging in a penance of fasting. However, if a Sudra murdered a Brahmin, he was required to paying for it with his life.
The "Manava Dharma Shastra" contains Brahmin laws and regulations that serve as an example of the crafty way in which the Brahmins forced the rest into servitude. Examples of the shrewdness with which the Brahmins secured their own supremacy over the Sudras and others may be seen throughout the "Manava Dharma Shastra."
Because of how deeply ingrained and inflexible this system of slavery was, it persisted under the Peshwas. This was accomplished by keeping the populace in the dark and manipulating their thoughts.
