interesting paper on how they invented the two, or should i say perverted a perfectly sensible pre-existing system?
also note how they used the census (and statistics) as a weapon, just like modern-day sachar committees manufacturing 'facts'.
this of course is the christists' modus operandi for how to deal with all hindu knowledge and systems: they will decry it until they have managed to wipe out hinduism, and then they will steal it and claim it as their own great patrimony, just as they did to the greek and roman civilizations. meanwhile all the sins they accuse hindus of are things they do themselves: for instance the stranglehold the godmen in their system have on society (which they ascribe to hindu priesthood although they are in actual fact powerless), and the abominable sexual abuse -- virtual legalized prostitution -- of helpless nuns in their convents (which they ascribed to devadasis in hindu temples, once again inaccurately and with malice aforethought).

Here is another well-researched book written by an American professor about how the British invented caste system in India:
