treated many groups of people as intrinsically inferior to others.

so are you saying that:
1. the Maharishi accepted the caste system.
2. the Western members of the TMO were considered mixed caste and
therefore lower than untouchables.
3. the Maharishi elevated the Western members of the TMO above those
who were not in the TMO.
4. therefore any Indians not in the TMO, whatever their caste, would
then be considered lower than the lower than untouchable TMO members?
