The biggest lies spread in the media:
Before 1947:
-All Brahmins were priests
-Shudras has no study rights
Truth:
-Most Brahmins were farmers (1901 census)
-Children of every caste studied in Gurukuls
-Shudra children consisted 60-70% of total students (1826 british report)

Infact it was British who propagated caste/class discrimination in education in India!!
Proofs👇
1. Indian indigenous gurukuls: -60-70% students were from shudra & dalit castes. There was no caste-discrimination!
(T Munro report 1821, W Adam report 1836)
2. British Board of Education's Policy: "We should confine education to natives of good caste and superior classes".
Examples:
-Director of public instructions (DPI Bombay, 1856-57) E.I Howard in his report said:
"Low-caste boys as a general rule are dirty and offensive in their persons. It would evidently not be fair to other children to compel them to receive such a fellow-pupil by their side. It would be like intruding a chimney-sweep or crossing-sweeper upon a class of clean well-dressed boys in an English national school. The effect would be to drive away those who are most able to profit by education, for the benefit of those who are least able.
-British members of Bengal’s General Committee of Public Instruction (established in 1823),
argued that its aim should be to educate “respectable individuals, of whom its members will
consist of men, who by their Brahmanical birth, as well as by their learning, exercise a
powerful influence on the minds of every order of the community.”
-Elphinstone, Lieutenant Governor of Bombay, insisted on recruiting only Brahmins as teachers.
-Colleges run by British were instructed to impart education to only “students from
respectable backgrounds”.
Its very clear who was actually doing caste-discrimination!!
