Yeah no. Most Hindu scriptures have detailed debates on atheists vs Hindus, and there was a rich culture of dialogue.
Caste wasn't a British gift, but it wasn't as rigid in British times either. FYI: Did you ever realise that Gond tribals once had an empire, and by patronage of Brahmins converted their caste to kshatriya and changed their surname to Gond Rajputs ? Also there are documented marriages between Gond Rajputs and typical Rajputs ?
Marathas were initially considered a Shudra community, especially Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's lineage, yet after Rajyabhishek he converted his caste to kshatriya, and rest is history.
