People go to the Courts and Judges of their own countries with the expectation of seeing justice done. What they actually find is a legal system that favours the ones who can afford the best QC and knows how to "the system works" (timeframes, arguments, negotiations, delays etc etc). In most cases, justice is not done and is not even seen to be done.
Hence, the reason many people resort to religion for justice i.e. in the hope to get justice in an afterlife. Also, don't forget that the doctrine of Karma was created shortly after the doctrine of no-personal-choice was created. The Kings were worried that, if people would think that the people were allowed to do whatever they wanted, they feared that the poor would revolt against them. Hence, they paid (bribed) the Brahmins who come out with the idea that if the untouchables were so poor was because of something they did in their previou lives (law of karma). As the masses trusted and believed their Brahmins, they accepted to continue to live in their low conditions and to live in poverty because the Brahmins said so.
