• A. Indians in India faced apartheid.
• B. Apartheid is a form of racism.
• C. Apartheid is a form of casteism.
• D. Indians who lived in colonial South Africa were also victims of apartheid.

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

Indians who lived in colonial South Africa were also victims of apartheid.

Apartheid was a system of legislation that upheld segregationist policies against non-white citizens of South Africa. As it's a differentiation based on colour, it's a type of racism. Casteism is not based on colour but the historical background/ work someone does. Even Gandhi had become a victim of apartheid in South Africa.
