ICLAD CASTE.
its Rule Among the Hindus' Abso-
lute and Unchangeable.
THE POWER, OF THE BRAHMAN
All the Wealth of the World Would
Not Enable a Lower Caste Hindu to
Wed Into Hie Family or Touch Hie
. Hand Tyrannical Social Divisions.
Cast distinction In India 'is a thing
difficult for a foreigner to comprehend.
All the racial or religious distinctions
which separate European nations from
each other and divide them within
themselves do not equal the number of
classes Into which the nindus are di
vided by what la known as "caste."
The 200.000.000 Hindus are made up
of diverse racial elements and spenk
about nineteen developed" lauguages
and over 100 dialects. They "are again
divided into over 3,000 castes, most of
them with subcastes.; ; One of these
castes, the Brahmaug, is split up into
more than 800 subcastes, of which none
wiir intermarry and few will eat to
gether. ,?v - . '' 1: ,.,' ',
The term "caste" includes so many
things that it is difficult to define it
There ate. however, two properties es
sential to a true caste first,' there is no
entry except 'by birth; second, mar
riage outside the caste is absolutely
forbidden. To preserve the purity and
clety many minute rules of conduct
many, restrictions on food and many
ceremonial observances are Imposed on
the members and enforced by penalties
which cannot be evaded, against which
there is no appeal and which in ex
treme cases follow, the offender beyond
the grave. " i . ' -
But that is not alL The relations of
castes to each other are as much a
matter of religious observance as the
rules for their interna regulation. The
Brahmans are the highest admittedly
and undoubtedly superior to . all the
rest After them come those who are
acknowledged to be twice born. 'The
less honored follow in a graduated de
scent until , the untouchable and un
speakable are reached at the lowest
Jepth. v -.''f V;
It may be urged that the separation
between the Brahman and, let as say.
the Eorml market gardener Is no wider
than that between the peer of the
United Kingdom and the coal miner.
There Is this essential difference that
It . Is : impossible for an . Indian to
change his caste. The coal miner may
be elected to parliament, may become
a cabinet minister and If be can make
money enough may marry his son to a
duke's daughter. , ' : VVi
' The Kurmi must remain a EurmL
All the wealth of Croesus will not en
able him to make an alliance with a
Brahman family or to touch a Brah
man's hand. The members of a caste
may and in some cases do raise them
selves in the sight of other castes by
adopting more elaborate ceremonies
and more scrupulous observances. '
A half civilized Gond, for example',
may find himself brought into contact
with Hindus as the plow encroaches
on the forest. He tries to raise bis po
sition und add to his self respect by
adopting the exclusiveness of his Hin
du neighbors. He will , even outdo
them ,lf he can. and If the Hindu is
scrupulous about his food the eohvert
will wash the very wood with which
his dinner Is cooked.' ' ;
No endeavors of this kind, however,
will avail to lessen by a hair's breadth
the distance between him . and the
caste Hindu or even to Induce the
Hindu barber to look upon him as a
client whose chin he' may shave and
whose toe nails be may pare without
degradation. v ; V
. Another point connected with caste
which has a very practical bearing
and must be taken into account is the
power of coercion which it gives to the
brotherhood. If a man Is excommuni
cated by his caste fellows nobody In
the caste will marry him or 'will ac
cept water from his hands or will eat
with him. .;
If be la married his wife will not
touch him or ?peakto him. He Is

dead to his family. The priest will not
perform ceremonies for him. The vil
lage barber will not shave him, and
ide washerwoman will not wash his
c'othes. These are the methods of
bringing pressure on the man. The
strictest boycott which Irishmen have
Invented Is mild compared to the final
sentence of- a caste puncbayat.
' A system like this is a stern fact
which has to be faced. There is not a
police case or a civil case or a trial at
the sessions, there Is hardly an ap
pointment to an office In India of
whatever degree, In which the matter
of caste has not to be considered. It
forces Itself into every assessment of
land revenue. Into every adjudication
of rent. It affects the administration
of Justice, the proceedings of . munici
pal and district councils.
The Influence and power of the
Brahman and the Idea that be Is
above the law and is not to be pun
ished tfs other people-are still alive,
although a century of -British Justice
has done something toward eradicat
ing them. On the other hand, the sug
gestion that a man of a lower caste
mlgbt rise to an equality or nearer to
au Equality with members of a caste
above him Is unthinkable. Where the
low caste men are.; there they must
remain. If they behave themselves
it will be made up to them in a future
existence. London Spectator.
