@jaiveer488 "India is poor because of caste system"
*Caste system has actually a Congress added spice. Even arvind kejriwal did not care to explain you the truth unfortunately.
No caste system in Hinduism. Caste came into India post 6th century. 6th century we have attacks by Delhi sultanate in Tamil nadu madurai meenakshi Amman temple. It was rebuilt after 11th century by the 3rd sangam era king. This caste system becomes strong during the colonial rule. They made it stronger.
Further historical evidence of no caste system in Hinduism.=👇
"Wikipedia" manusmrithi.
Scroll down to subtopic "authenticity and inconsistencies of the various manuscript"
From there I quote "Other scholars point to the inconsistencies and have questioned the authenticity of verses, and the extent to which verses were changed, inserted or interpolated into the original, at a later date. Sinha, for example, states that less than half, or only 1,214 of the 2,685 verses in Manusmriti, may be authentic.
"Further, the verses are internally inconsistent.Verses such as 3.55–3.62 of Manusmriti, for example, glorify the position of women, while verse such as 9.3 and 9.17 do the opposite

"Further, the verses are internally inconsistent"
Sources : Arun Kumbhare (2009), Women of India: Their Status Since the Vedic Times, p56
"Other passages found in Manusmriti, such as those relating to Ganesha, are modern era insertions and forgeries"
Sources : A. Narain (1991). Robert Brown (ed.) : Ganesh studies, an ancient God, State University of New York Press, p22.
"Robert E Van Vroost states that the verses from 3.55–60 may be about respect given to a woman in her home, but within a strong patriarchal system"
"Nelson in 1887, in a legal brief before the Madras High Court of British India, had stated, "there are various contradictions and inconsistencies in the Manu Smriti itself, and that these contradictions would lead one to conclude that such a commentary did not lay down legal principles to be followed but were merely recommendatory in nature"
Sources: . G. Srikantan (2014), Thomas Duve (ed.), Entanglements in Legal History, Max Planck Institute: Germany, p123
Mahatma Gandhi remarked on the observed inconsistencies within Manusmriti as follows: "I hold Manusmriti as part of Shastras. But that does not mean that I swear by every verse that is printed in the book described as Manusmriti. There are so many contradictions in the printed volume that, if you accept one part, you are bound to reject those parts that are wholly inconsistent with it. ... Nobody is in possession of the original text."

Unquote : this caste system is foreign to India and yes the book manusmrithi have been destroyed of its originality during the different foreign rule in India.
