NICHOLAS DIRKS FLATLY WRONG RE COLONIALISM CAUSED OR WORSENED INDIA CASTE SYSTEM

Cf. David Reich.

Bozos of academia:  Dirks' dad, Christian Yale (A byword) professor and then missionary in Madras, where Dirks himself grew up, also home state of Kamala Harris. 

All three no doubt considered British colonialism, not the fricking Hindus themselves, to blame for India backwardness and its highly unequal and long long hereditary caste system.

RE Dirks' mentor, Bernard conehead Cohn: Dittohead!:

"...Cohn's seminal contributions included work on India's caste system, by which he established that caste was solidified as a concept by the British codification of it, as well as the establishment of historical anthropology as a means to link the disciplines of anthropology and history...." Wikipedia

Kamala's claim for reparations from all Western white males and females for all Indians due to Western colonialism will have the Dirks' works and Cohn's as Exhibit A.
