It’s no coincidence that Dalits are dark and Brahmins are "fair", as they call it, and that white invasions into the country long before Caesar had influences on this ancient system and changed it, like Christianity, into a belief system extolling whiteness. This was not the case before white invasion, but has been the case sense, to the point of color casting become "normalized" in their religion. The women you constantly hear of being gang-raped, for example, are almost always from the Dalit caste, and below them (which is already rock bottom) is the Siddi caste (former African slaves, who were brought to India for unpaid labor, and left by the Europeans and Arabs centuries ago). They have their own Emmit Till, their own Medgar Evers, etc.
