My dear Miss Hodson, these dancers always play to the gods--it is their trade. But there is safety in caste--in _varna_, which is the old Brahmin name for caste, meaning colour. When the Aryans came down into Hind they were olive-skinned and the aborigines here were quite black, so, to draw the line, they created caste and called it _varna_, meaning that they of the light skin were of a higher order than the aborigines--which they were. A white skin is like a shirt-of-mail, it protects morally, socially, in India.
