Possibly no people in the 116 A WINTER m INDIA AND AIALAYSIA. world has ever been so priest-ridden as the Hindus. The aboriginal tribes before them had no castes; the Mohammedans who later conquered the Hindus have had little or none of such notions. It is no wonder that in the Buddhist revolt against such a system the masses of the people would fly to a faith -that had in it no place for caste. Nor is it any wonder that the Brahmans made a persistent, deadly struggle against Buddhism, and fina...lly, for their own preservation, drove it entirely out of India. It is interesting to conjecture what would have been the condition of the Indian people had Buddhism prevailed through all the generations to the present. It is certain that those races that have ac- cepted Buddhism, the Burmese and the Chinese, are better off many ways than the Hindus. To us of independent customs and spirit it is hard to comprehend the thousand ways it attempts to touch every thing connected with one's existence.
