This genetic evidence refutes the claim that the Indian caste structure was a modern invention of British colonialism,

I had no idea that anyone blamed the Indian Caste system on the British. But I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Every culture I have ever read about has always had some kind of class structure with taboos about crossing the line (at least once the culture rose above the tribal level).

Why would India be different?

"with taboos about crossing the line"

Some historians mistakenly believe that railroads were created for the transhipment of people and goods.

The real reason was so that the good people could be born on one side of the tracks, and the bad people on the other.
