This is an interesting observation that you make. One thing may explain it: the loss of a concept of a loving, compassionate Creator, who is without any enmity toward anyone. I cannot see how the identification of Akaal with the forces and energies of the Universe can overcome the prejudices of caste and race. One is seemingly relieved of the need to see the divine in everyone. Too impersonal. Just my 2 cents.
