The 200,000,000 or more Hindoos in this Empire are divided into a vast number of independent, well organiz+ ed and unchangeable groups, which are scparated by wide differences, who cannot eat together or drink from the same vessel or sit at the same table or intermarry There have been and still are Bis nent and learned philosophers and social scientists who admire caste as one of the highest agencies of so- cial perfection, and they argue shay it alone has prevented the people o India from relapsing into hpgparimn. but foreigners in general K tian missionaries in particular take a very different view, and many thoughtful and patriotic Hindoos publicly declare that it is the real and only cause of the wretched con= dition of their people and the great- est obstacle to their progress. Sno- shee Chunder Dutt, a very learned Hindoo and author of a standard book entitled "India, Past and Pre- sent," declares that "civilization ha# been brought to a standstill by its mischievous restrictions, and there {x no hope of its being remedied un- til those restrictions are removed." It is curious to learn that the word "caste" i# not Ilindoo at all, tut Pottuguese, and that instead;gt being an ancient feature of the Hint doo religion, it is comparatively a modern idea The first form of religion in India was the worship of nature, and the chief gods of the people were the sun, fire, water and other natuf¥? phenomena, which were interpreted to thé ignorant masses by the priests, who gradually developed what is now called Brahminism, and in the course of time, for social reay sons, divided the people into fa First; the.
