Ramdulal De & 18th Century Caste System !
As like now -during 18th century money acted as the great equalizer to build and rebuild the Caste System. Kaliprasad Dutta belonged to a wealthy Kayastha family. It is said that he married a muslim lady. For this and for many other reasons he was ostrasized by the upper Hindu elites. Ramdulal helped him out by placating a large number of important Brahmins with gifts & money. Thus Kaliprasad Dutta once again got back his position in the upper Kayastha society. In fact Ramdulal is said to have mentioned among his friends " I keep caste in my coffers."
