It all certainly happened back in the day BUT the current Indian cultural swing under Modi whereby various influential institutions are attempting to play-down and even rewrite the gross inequalities and historical injustices faced by the low-castes under the rigid Hindu caste system, is over-egging the pudding in my opinion. 

The Indian elites are worried that if things don't change for the better for people on the bottom rung of Indian society as promised by Modi, they will turn on the super-rich Indians who are getting richer, or God forbid, the little people will turn against the belief system that claims they're in the unfortunate life position they find themselves in because of karmic implications. That would be a huge problem for Indian Hindu society. That ideology stems from Indian literature written when Europeans were bumming around in caves and forests. The East India Company weren't around then.

No one attacked and subverted this old caste based thinking in India more than our Gurus. That's saying something. Jagjit Singh in his book, really brings that to life. 

Our movement has always been at the forefront of social and spiritual humanity and equality, way before any europeans ever conceived these ideas.

The way Sikhi helped flatten society is unprecedented. Even a few early european writers comment on that. We've gone backwards and have become no different to Hindus now.   Guru ji was called gareeb niwas in their own lifetime. There are scores of examples of their own sustained endeavours in trying to create a spiritually uplifted, socially fair, militarily proficient and confident society.  

That's at the core of Sikhi and explains our own unique culture, from langars to amrit sanchaar itself, including so called 'low caste' bhagat bani in maharaj.  It's radical stuff in an Indian context. 

Look at how getting away from that has done nothing but weaken us.  The existing attitudes even stops parchaar happening successfully because we look like some regional thing as shastar singh is alluding to these days.
