Why caste system was so efficient in India but not in the other places?
How was it efficient? 4000 years of caste system and they still haven't learned to poo in loo.
caste system is efficient in primitive or very traditionals homogeneous cultural nations
old asia or africa is a good choise

Because it was based on the thought that one would reincarnate into a higher station if you were just and did your part. While it created order, it also held India back seens gifted individuals can't work up the ranks and use their ideas, skills, or inventions to improve their nation.

It was so fucking cancerous, it drove some Indians to convert to Islam.

The modern caste system is less than hundred years old. Before that it was more of a rank system.
The Victorians caused this problem too
>>409221
yes, muslims dindu nuffin.

Obviously, by pointing out that a lot of Indians accepted Islam to escape the caste system in India, it means Muslims never ever have done anything wrong.
You fucking moron.

they were converted by force.
The two regions in India that muslims were largely in were the eastern and westernmost extremities.
the west was repeatedly invaded by turkic tribes who actually went to the lengths of settling afghans around delhi, and the easternmost part which was out of the common hindu pale.

began taking hold after muslims came to power politically and militarily

The Caste system wasn't as strict when it first began. You could rise from a Kashatriya to a Brahman with distinguished military service. Like >>409237 said, the caste system evolved into a strict hierarchal system relatively recently, and has only survived as long as it did based on the idea that one will reincarnate if one dies into another caste. Despite this, the caste system is still De Dejure illegal but De Facto practiced in more traditional and under evolved parts of India.

To be fair, no one largely figured that out until over a century ago.
>>409656
it was often the opposite, you had brahmins becoming kshatriyas to legitimize their rights to rule.

>they were converted by force.
Funnily, the Ghaznavids wanted Indians to remain hindu so they can milk them with Jizya money.

eh?
>>409695
he got it backwards
the varna system wasn't as top down as high school history books show.
its more like the executive, legislature and judiciary, largely independent and doing their own thing.
