APPENDIX V 409
Outside the caste system altogether stand the few and shattered remains of those
aboriginal tribes, out of which the whole series of caste was fashioned by slow
degrees, through the example and under the guidance of the Brahmanical priest-
hood. Had the Brahman never come into existence and had his arrogance
Proved to be less omnipotent than it did, the various industrial classes would
never have become stereotyped into castes, and the nation would then have been
sPared a degree of social disunion to which no parallel can be found in human
history. There seems to be no likelihood of caste being banished from Indian
so'l until Brahmanism itself—the fans ct origo mail—has died a natural death by
Hie rise of the scientific spirit, and the fallacy of its pretensions has become an
object of general scorn. As soon as the Brahman begins to disappear, the
rest will follow.
