Cast system & regionalism was the main reason why Mughals & Islamic invaders were able invade India.
This theory can be proved by the example of Undivided Assam which was ruled by Ahoms, with no caste system or discrimination of work on the basis of caste or religion etc. in Ahoms kingdom which lasted for 600 years (1228-1826) everybody can do everything like for example anyone can be a fisherman, farmer, pottery worker, boat man and most importantly an warrior among other things. When ever Mughals tried to Invade Undivided Assam everyone become a warrior and not only fend off the Mughals but also defeated them. And taken many Mughals as POW (prisoners of war) interestingly they (Ahoms) treated their POW very humanely instead of beheading them or keeping them in jails they allotted them land to settle in Assam (Hajo District of Assam) and this is how Islam first came to Assam.
It may be mentioned here that though area wise undivided Assam was as bigger than Madhya Pradesh but the population of the area was only a few lakhs and original Ahoms population when they came to Assam was less than 9000 their population started to increased when they started marrying with Morans & Borahi of the Upper Assam Region. Even with this small population of the area they were able to defeat Mughals only because everybody fought.
As long as cast system & regionalism (on the basis of language & religion) remains in India ; India can never become a super-power and will always remain vulnerable to foreign proxy war.
