It's just nature. Survival of the toughest, smartest, strongest, richest, fittest. Animals all do this, too. Look at lions. They oppress females, kill their babies just to mate with lionesses, who expect good sex every 20 minutes and the males expect them to do all the hunting work to feed the pride, as well as raise the cubs. And then the young teenage male dudes decide they want sex partners and simply kill some old male pride leader, kill all the lionesses' cubs and have a good age old male sexual orgy. While the poor old man lion just has 6o wander off alone, probably suffering dementia of all the rotten masculine power abuses he perpetrated in his hey day. And just gets preyed upon himself and eaten, even if his hide is pretty tough and sinewy. But, as humans, we could seek to rise above our animal barbarity, without denying we are still a part of the animal order. We are a bit more evolved, I hope... But sometimes wonder...
The hypocrisy of the guy in the white shirt is astounding . He claims the caste system has disappeared but earlier on he admitted to teaching his children that a certain group of people was less that because of their caste. Make it make some sense please , sir.

@@Pixel3 not really. British people never used it for their purpose. Britishers are the one who started education for everyone irrespective of their caste. they even abolished sati (killing rituals among widows after death of their husbands).and even they collected all the names of castes which were present in india and catagorised them accordingly their backwardness. So that later they can provide them good services and education. British people used caste system is hoax created by bramhins to hide the fact that Brahmins are the one who using caste system. To this day even the supreme court of india has system called collegium system which contains 300 bramhins-baniya families which only select upper caste people as judges. My advice for you is if you come across any bramhins just never trust them and ask for proof. And even if they provide proof do own research from proper sources they're generational liars.

Caste system was abolished judged illegal by government years ago. The problem is Indians still practice and believe in it. There are murders relating to marriages or lovers of different caste members killed by their family. Even Indians in US practice caste system too. I read that one Indian working for a tech company in US was refused to promote by his Indian supervisors because he belongs to the lower caste. True story.

Why the 'untouchables' can't leave caste -ridden Hinduism? Because , the moment an 'untouchable' converts to Islam or Christianity , he will be deprived of the ' benefits ' , which comes in the form of reservations in education and jobs. These benefits are available to ONLY HINDUS.

When i went to india for a wedding, it lasted 4 days. 4 days of industrial amounts of food. I mean, every event was like a fair of food in a big stadium or hall. What broke me as a human is that outside the halls, were full families living by the sewers and in cardboard houses. When i asked if we could give some of the left over to the people outside. I was told almost in an echo of everyone there that they are not used to the food, and they would probably get sick, so its best to throw it in the garbage... I've never met an Indian person with a giving and humble heart. I came back with a broken spirit because of how they treat others and women.
@thejus36 I'm sure not every Indian is like that. You have ~1.4B ppl there. There is absolutely a way to change and remove that caste system and not allow it by not giving it power.

I have a wealthy Indian friend here in America and it disgusted me how she explained she treats the lower castes. Specifically the people that work for her family. Just like it was 100% normal. We’re not so close anymore
Someone I know was in india for 3 months for an exchange thingy and I can confirm, she lived in a posh family over there and was completely shocked by how gross and with no respect they treated all of their less privileged their workers (cleaners, etc.). Even worse when you think about how much poorer the poor are in comparison to the wealthy than in central and northern europe where at least the poorest will still have a secure life with apartments etc, whereas in india the poorest will basically have nothing. Yet, the privileged don't have a single bit of compassion for them and make sure to treat them so they feel they believe they are superior
Typical new woke nonsense, they try to blame their own shortcomings on the British. The British did terrible things all over the world but we didnt create the system or strengthen it
**With the HINDU-Nationalist in power since 2014 - this is NOW OFFICIAL again (though they DENY/LIE about it)!* The Brits existence was a BOON to lower-castes as BRITS wanted to apply equality in LAW/PUNISHMENTS/etc - *EX: the WIFE-BURNING-ALIVE (Sati) along with dead husband on pyre - this ritual was ABOLISHED only due to Brits in power!*

You are right! My husband grew up over there & has said it many times. Especially in rural areas. In the cities many young people are discarding these beliefs- but given the huge population of the country & the 25% illiteracy they have a long way to go but it is getting better.
I still don't understand how the caste system is very much prevalent when many of the Indian upper class are from lower castes. Like Indian President is a Dalit. Indian PM is also lower caste. India's richest man is also OBC. The Indian Government has hard time uniting a country that has multiple different ethnic groups, religions, and castes.
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 Answer is simple . It's not about Upper caste or lower caste . In india the land weren't equally distributed , and majority of land are inherited to upper caste . Many similar things happened . If this thing weren't the case , than nobody cares . As majority of po population of india is under reservation , OBC alone account for more than 50 % of India's population . So it's not about Upper caste & Lower caste but it's about inequality & power . In India there where no proper action taken by government , like China does against their private landlord . In india this Zamindar doesn't get taxed , as they are classified as Farmer . In india there is no legal definition of farmer , it can be Person who own's farming land , and person who works in farm . In Short , Upper caste people have fear of being treated as minority , so they will try their best to corrupt & manipulate the System of india . By the way , I'm from OBC ( Lower caste) . And i personally don't care about their views & behaviour towards us , but only things worry is that they , have land & inherited wealth , and doesn't even get taxed .
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 I don't think so , India's richest man is from lower caste ( OBC) . He is from least upper caste , or just at a edge of upper to lower caste . Yes India's Prime minister is from OBC , and he literally share the same sub caste as me 😅 , only difference is state . Our president is from SC Community . He is one of most generous & leading personality , i have ever seen . I personally hate upper caste people , as they committee majority of India's serious crime like murder , etc , comparing to that of their population , which account for maximum 20% . As well as they are likely to corrupt , as they doesn't related to majority of population , as they doesn't belong to hence they doesn't care about our condition , etc . So I personally doesn't want to vote upper caste candidate or muslim candidate .
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 I highly doubt , that Indian government want to unit the country . As current ruling party came in power by hindu muslim politics . And caste system will never end . Un less and until the inter caste marriage , become common . Like 1 in 2 marriage in india , being intercaste marriage . But in reality only 2 % of India's marriage is inter caste marriage or inter religion . So you got the answer . On Quora , Facebook , etc you will find people , who will try their best to prove , that PM & President are from upper caste , just to manipulate or from of nervous insight . As this people are likely to be from upper caste & have valgur mind set . Sometimes it's political too , like political party like BSP , SP try to influence the mass , by doing caste based politics . So they doesn't fear to question the person's identity from their same community in different political party .
They also brought this practice in other countries so much so that US had to introduce new laws to stop indians discriminating other indians on basis of cast.
Just like those white colonizers brought their filth churchianity in India similarly Indians brought their filth caste system in us. Human nature you know.
I went to high school with many Indian migrants back in the 90's. You could clearly see who was higher up in the caste system just by their personality. The ones higher up were outspoken almost to the point of arrogance. On the other hand the ones lower on the system were very quiet shy and withdrawn. I didn't realize why until much later when one of the higher caste members on my tennis team broke it down to me. This antiquated form of rule needs to stop especially in this day in age
reading your comments def reminds me of few rude people I've met. I wonder if this is why some Indian customers look down on me when I used to work in retail. they held this tone of superiority and treated us like we are their servants. At that time I just disregarded them as Karens lol. of course, 99% of Indian customers were nice.
Wow. This kind of gives me an idea why we pakistanis are usually seen as humble compared to indians. Because muslims too were given a lesser social status in predivided india. Everyone that has ever met us noticed that pakistanis are generally shy n humble. Today I got to know why. Thank you so much for the insight!
@@kai2690 yes it is, who said pakistan doesn't have a caste system? We have surnames all over pakistan and people take pride in them.

Some people in your country falsely claim to be pathans, you dont become a pathan just by suffixing khan to your name, pathan surnames are khatak, yusufzai, popalzai, afridi etc.
If it is PART of their belief system, then it becomes socially acceptable - that is the PROBLEM! It WILL NOT go, unless people REJECT that they are BORN to carry EXCRETA of UPPER/other CASTES (Brahmins, etc)!

@@alexvtan This is untrue. Do not change the definition of words to suite your purpose. Racism is specifically defined as discrimination on the basis of race.
I have a lot to say! First off, the Brits didn't rigidify the caste system. It has always been rigid with no mobility. It's based on Manu's laws. The Brits only abided by it because it's deeply entrenched. Those who say "it's only a rural thing" or "young generation doesn't care" are either ignorant or trying to cloak it. The young generation may not mind socializing but they will rarely downgrade in matrimony. Casteism in urban India is brilliantly cloaked. Check out top honchos in private and public enterprises; check out white collar positions and it's hard to find a lower caste person. While the lower castes are lucky that they get to eat meat, the history behind this is rather dark. Back in Vedic times, animal sacrifices were common and the lower castes were called upon to clean up. They would use the carcass as food. Also, in the Vedic times, every caste would eat meat including the priestly and warrior castes. In fact, the vedas talk about offering beef to a Hindu priest. However, with the introduction of Jainism the Hindus had to do something to curb this fast spreading religion with it's non-violent ethos. That's when they switched to vegetarianism. The biggest insult was when the lady positioned Gandhi as some sort of savior of the lower castes. He was one of the biggest casteists of his day, who went on an indefinite fast to protest the granting of a separate electorate to lower castes/Dalits. Mind you, he was fine with other communities getting separate electorates. "Harijan" is just his red herring to hide his casteism. I am also shocked that as the narrator and the lady (interviewed) spoke of Constitution, the didn't mention Dr. Ambedkar, the chief architect, the first law minister of India, and a Dalit who championed human rights and labor code in India and fought for decades to get equal rights for Dalits. Indians have literally written Ambedkar's name and work out of the history.
Yes, I noticed this, too: the nonsense about the British entrenching a caste system that had ruled the society for 2000 years before any Brit stepped foot in India, the total white-washing of Gandhi's casteism and the total cancelling of Dr Ambedkar. A seriously dishonest "documentary".
@@yelenaangeleski3354 Right wingers try to blame caste on the British and Portuguese to absolve their proud Hindu civilization . To them , India was a utopia before Turkic and European invasions .
m. mckoy , you need to watch the film again. This is a centuries old problem. The caste system is dumb, but you saying that does nothing but diminish the people trapped in that situation. Get out there and help! Stop mumbling nonsense.
Where there are people, there is always discrimination. Discrimination can have various flavors originated by superiority complex. People just want to identify themselves special with whatever they may find. A rich black discriminates against poor black, a businessman discriminates against workers, shiya and sunni Muslims discriminate against each other calling each group special. A catholic Christian discriminates against other Christian groups although they all pray Jesus in different ways. This disease of discrimination is like COVID-19, you cant cure it or prevent it overnight, we need to aim at flattening the curve
forget it! Some of my 'urban educated' friends are into this shit. Not outright discrimination but they simply don't realize their privilege. Take for example the uber privileged dude with his fake accent who claimed the system is broken. He says reservations should be based on economic status and meritocracy. Little does he know that the fake fucking accent he has is because he can sit on his fat ass and binge Netflix for hours. A person who's family has been uneducated for generations, cannot be expected to perform top of the class. Wtf! Even my parents used to tell me when I was a kid, "The children of brahmins are intelligent". Now I realize why. If your parents are fucking college professors then obviously you gonna be a fucking nerd.
Guess I'm a Shudra, worker, but I have my own mind and thus Brahmin, I have been in the military so I'm also Kshatriyas, I have sold items both as a retailer and made music and art so I am Vaishyas, I have both picked up trash and worked on plumbing systems so thus I'm also Dalit, I am human, not a label.

I have heard 'India's caste system is terrible' many times, but never learnt what it was or how it worked. Thank you for the informative video; I hope India can move past this system completely in the future, and move forward with a clean, safe, and equal society for everyone.
They may have abolished the caste system by "law" but it is very likely that those inthe upper huerarchy would not want to relinquish or give up such practise because it favors them in many ways ! Just like in many ancient societies where the "ruling class" lorded it over on the lower rank,those in the upper strata will not be willing to democratise privileges,opportunities and wealth to greater masses of people. Religion in this particular social setting is meant to control and oppress greater masses of people . Talk of "democracy" ,equality and human rights in India ?!
Unfortunately the truth is that it is going to stay as long as Hindu religion is going to survive. It already started restrengthening after extreme ring wing hindu religious political party called BJP came to power in 2014. It was in decay for a few decades after the new constitution outlawed it in 1956 and a more liberal and modern political party Congress who ruled previously tried to remove It. Is a system which remained as a system of administration for 2000 years. It is not easy to wipe off such deep rooted social structure.

@@JuntaJanardhan While untouchability has been legally abolished, people still practise it especially in villeges. And laws cannot change the mindset of people nor make them give up their casteist mindset. If you choose to not touch a lower caste then the police cannot even identify that yiu have committed a crime let alone arrest you for it. Hinduism is not 40000 or 15000 years ago its just 4000 years ago. And considering hinduism has adopted several literatures later in its history, its an invalid argument that the oldest form of hinduism is the most accurate one. By that logic Ramayana and Mahabharatha would have to be non hindu literature because they came much later. If Britishers are the reason behind caste, then why are you hanging on to it? Why not just give up cazte status and start marrying among castes?

Back in the 80's I worked on the Railway in London . I asked an Indian co-worker why he didn't offer to help other Indian passengers help with train information , or with putting their luggage on trains etc. He said because he was from a low caste.(Dalit I guess), they would either tell him in very abrupt and rude words to not to talk to them , and they certainly didn't want him touching their luggage.

I interviewed an Indian medical student on my channel and he mentioned that the caste system affects medical school admissions in India. Some castes are favored over others.

Few Indians seem to understand the true meaning of Reservation - it is for REPRESENTATION. Economic class is a completely different matter. Reservations on the basis of caste are for covering the lack of presence of lower castes and Dalits in positions of power. Note ANY institution - educational, political, journalistic, corporate - you will find UCs disproportionately represented. But none of these comfortable middle class UC people want to confront this. Why? Because they don't want to lose their privilege and power.
@Travis Bickle a hardworking and poor forward caste person scoring 98 percent out of 100 percent is still not getting his / her Desired college but a reserved person scoring 60 percent is getting the same. Therefore, it demotivates 220 million forward caste people living in the country and makes them second class citizens. Only Top 1 percent of those 220 million forward caste are rich & aristocratic the remaining forward caste is struggling in local buses & local trains, doing menial jobs, working as underpaid slaves of Multinational corporates, etc. The biggest irony is that the person who introduced the reservation system for SC / ST strictly warned the Constituent Assembly that this reservation system is temporary and should not extend for more 10-20 years maximum otherwise it would become a mere shortcut and appeasement tool for rich politicians who are already sitting in power. Unfortunately that happened.

Why else would India choose to be a secular country if Hinduism is the WISEST philosophy?

I used to hear from some people who went to India and many said Indians are very racists even against their own people leave alone black people from Africa and this caste system is the origin of all discriminations against the people who are poor and we are all human beings and should help each others instead of looking down on others as animals and help them when they need your help
Perhaps it's very difficult to abolish the cast system in India as it's a very prolong system which is impossible to get changed by any political systems so far
Yet I just saw another documentary on tube, that India imports African prostitutes on a massive scale. So who are the Indians, going to these African prostitutes? I doubt that the lower caste people have money for prostitutes, since they can barely afford food each day, but there is a huge demand for them.
They discriminate against black people from America, not from Africa. There are many, many differences between African natives and "African-Americans" aka black Americans.
Id say that the economic conditions are even more important than education. If the material conditions of the lower castes don't improve, it doesn't matter how educated anyone is. This is plays out in india because even though lower castes recieve education at a subsidized cost and have representation in education through affirmative action, bad economic conditions still persist.
I have been working with this community in the hotel business since 2000. After watching this program it all makes sense to me how they treat their own kind. One hotel owner let Indian workers clean 30 rooms each day while American workers cleaned only 18. The owner kept their passports and made them work 7 days a week. They live in the hotel and is at the owners beck and call 24/7. When I tried to be sympathetic to them I was chastised and told that they are used to the work and it’s ok. They got paid below minimum wage and still had money docked for their room. They never complained but I was certain it was humiliating and difficult for them. They rarely have their own transportation so I would take them to the store or pick up fresh fruit and vegetables. They were always so polite, humble and kind. It was heartbreaking to watch but they would never speak up or defend themselves.

Not in East India....even UCs except Brahmins look like poojeet. But it kinda worked in Assam, the Kalitas, Assamese Brahmins and Goriyas(Muslims) have caucasian features more than East India. Casteism was not much in Assam but it was there for marriage so it preserved our genes.....also the topmost officials, actors, media, officers, professors, etc. comes from Kalita and Brahmin community of Assam and sometimes Ahom(mongoloid) and that too without any kind of reservation while the tribals getting so much benefits are still backward......so I think the caste system actually made sense because even with reservation Lower Castes can't compete us.
Ghandi who made such a big deal about peace, was as intolerant of the lowest caste as everyone else. His last hunger strike was to protest and prevent the lowest caste from getting 2 seats in government.

Well you are the only society who served invaders (brits) willingly. MillionS of indians served in british army. And they also served as low and middle ranking officers in british civil service. This is reality that your historians don't tell you.

Good thing we have iron chariots now, that seems to stop your evil father in heaven.
The most interesting thing about this to me is that I can see how this caste system sounded like a good idea in theory. When you describe the castes with relaxing flute music playing, you can kinda see how people thought that this would be a good way to organize society and make sure that everyone can contribute to society in their own way and everyone can benefit from everyone else's work. Obviously this didn't work well in practice.
How the hell is this good idea lol... Its obvious with marriage, different gene bring different feature to child. There is someone with great art skill, there is someone with great math thinking.... And someone could physically stronk. Imagine a smoll Gurkha is not appointed as warrior.... Waste of talent. And cannt imagine a dumb kid with great marketing skill become math teacher.
I think it was more to divide the society and control it than to benefit it. You really think that a ruler from thousands of years ago gave a shit about their subjects?
Thank God I am a Christian and Jesus embraced all kinds of people, especially those who were ordinary and had little in the way of wealth. The caste system is totally wrong but very different to eradicate!
actually it is not CASTE., it is VARNAM . Varnam referes to Skillset. It is no way discrimination but highlights the skillset everyone has. Of course, it was abused by too many which is a different matter. Thie word "Caste" has come from the West and as per their policies it was easy to divide and rule Indians. For example, we have IT people, Engineers, Doctors etc which is Varnam. Even within , say Doctors, we have Physicians, Surgeons, etc. This is not discrimination but divisions based onskillset & expertise for the sake of conducting things efficiently. So, that is the concept of Varnam. Unfortunately, most Indians won't dig into their own rich cultural knowledge but just cowtow whatever any westerner says.
I have Indian friends, both highly educated physicians from monied families, and waited months to name their infant until proscribed by the family astrologer, long distance from India,and numerous other esoteric ancient traditions molded their private lives, some clearly backward, unquestioned, and rigidly maintained.

@@totallynotsomeoneelse8075 You are right it's ancient astrology. But we still practice our traditions, it's not forced on us. We do it because we like to continue our traditions. I am as modern as a modern Indian can get, unless modern Indian means westernised Indian.
Unfortunately, if one is exposed to ancient astrology, it feels risky to disregard it. It is a psychological thing that being 'backward'. It is kind of difficult to see when not in it. I am guessing you are a doctor too. So you should be able to relate to the anxiety one feels when going against the prescribed course.
Some Indians take this casts system with them, when they immigrate to other countries. And thus, organizations and cities in the US are starting to pass laws against caste discrimination. One more problem to deal with.

It's just nature. Survival of the toughest, smartest, strongest, richest, fittest. Animals all do this, too. Look at lions. They oppress females, kill their babies just to mate with lionesses, who expect good sex every 20 minutes and the males expect them to do all the hunting work to feed the pride, as well as raise the cubs. And then the young teenage male dudes decide they want sex partners and simply kill some old male pride leader, kill all the lionesses' cubs and have a good age old male sexual orgy. While the poor old man lion just has 6o wander off alone, probably suffering dementia of all the rotten masculine power abuses he perpetrated in his hey day. And just gets preyed upon himself and eaten, even if his hide is pretty tough and sinewy.

When i went to india for a wedding, it lasted 4 days. 4 days of industrial amounts of food. I mean, every event was like a fair of food in a big stadium or hall. What broke me as a human is that outside the halls, were full families living by the sewers and in cardboard houses. When i asked if we could give some of the left over to the people outside. I was told almost in an echo of everyone there that they are not used to the food, and they would probably get sick, so its best to throw it in the garbage... I've never met an Indian person with a giving and humble heart.

Someone I know was in india for 3 months for an exchange thingy and I can confirm, she lived in a posh family over there and was completely shocked by how gross and with no respect they treated all of their less privileged their workers (cleaners, etc.). Even worse when you think about how much poorer the poor are in comparison to the wealthy than in central and northern europe where at least the poorest will still have a secure life with apartments etc, whereas in india the poorest will basically have nothing. Yet, the privileged don't have a single bit of compassion for them and make sure to treat them so they feel they believe they are superior

We Indians blame british for everything wrong with India. British did not create caste , they certainly took advantage of it as did the muhgals. Please accept the fact that hindus created caste system , setting Indian against Indian. It is because of caste I renounced hinduism.
I believe the upper class & the rich (mostly) class are responsible for ensuring that the Caste system continues.
You are right! My husband grew up over there & has said it many times.
Especially in rural areas.
In the cities many young people are discarding these beliefs- but given the huge population of the country & the 25% illiteracy they have a long way to go but it is getting better.
I still don't understand how the caste system is very much prevalent when many of the Indian upper class are from lower castes. Like Indian President is a Dalit. Indian PM is also lower caste. India's richest man is also OBC. The Indian Government has hard time uniting a country that has multiple different ethnic groups, religions, and castes.
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 Answer is simple . It's not about Upper caste or lower caste . In india the land weren't equally distributed , and majority of land are inherited to upper caste . Many similar things happened . If this thing weren't the case , than nobody cares . As majority of po population of india is under reservation , OBC alone account for more than 50 % of India's population . So it's not about Upper caste & Lower caste but it's about inequality & power . In India there where no proper action taken by government , like China does against their private landlord . In india this Zamindar doesn't get taxed , as they are classified as Farmer . In india there is no legal definition of farmer , it can be Person who own's farming land , and person who works in farm .
In Short , Upper caste people have fear of being treated as minority , so they will try their best to corrupt & manipulate the System of india .
By the way , I'm from OBC ( Lower caste) . And i personally don't care about their views & behaviour towards us , but only things worry is that they , have land & inherited wealth , and doesn't even get taxed .
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 I don't think so , India's richest man is from lower caste ( OBC) . He is from least upper caste , or just at a edge of upper to lower caste . Yes India's Prime minister is from OBC , and he literally share the same sub caste as me 😅 , only difference is state .
Our president is from SC Community . He is one of most generous & leading personality , i have ever seen .
I personally hate upper caste people , as they committee majority of India's serious crime like murder , etc , comparing to that of their population , which account for maximum 20% . As well as they are likely to corrupt , as they doesn't related to majority of population , as they doesn't belong to hence they doesn't care about our condition , etc . So I personally doesn't want to vote upper caste candidate or muslim candidate .
@@georgelincolnrockwell4659 I highly doubt , that Indian government want to unit the country . As current ruling party came in power by hindu muslim politics .
And caste system will never end . Un less and until the inter caste marriage , become common . Like 1 in 2 marriage in india , being intercaste marriage .
But in reality only 2 % of India's marriage is inter caste marriage or inter religion . So you got the answer .
On Quora , Facebook , etc you will find people , who will try their best to prove , that PM & President are from upper caste , just to manipulate or from of nervous insight . As this people are likely to be from upper caste & have valgur mind set . Sometimes it's political too , like political party like BSP , SP try to influence the mass , by doing caste based politics . So they doesn't fear to question the person's identity from their same community in different political party .
They also brought this practice in other countries so much so that US had to introduce new laws to stop indians discriminating other indians on basis of cast.
Just like those white colonizers brought their filth churchianity in India similarly Indians brought their filth caste system in us. Human nature you know.

Deport all those Indians on an excuse that "you are considered low caste here"
I went to high school with many Indian migrants back in the 90's. You could clearly see who was higher up in the caste system just by their personality. The ones higher up were outspoken almost to the point of arrogance. On the other hand the ones lower on the system were very quiet shy and withdrawn. I didn't realize why until much later when one of the higher caste members on my tennis team broke it down to me. This antiquated form of rule needs to stop especially in this day in age

I have a lot to say!
First off, the Brits didn't rigidify the caste system. It has always been rigid with no mobility. It's based on Manu's laws. The Brits only abided by it because it's deeply entrenched.
Those who say "it's only a rural thing" or "young generation doesn't care" are either ignorant or trying to cloak it. The young generation may not mind socializing but they will rarely downgrade in matrimony. Casteism in urban India is brilliantly cloaked. Check out top honchos in private and public enterprises; check out white collar positions and it's hard to find a lower caste person.
While the lower castes are lucky that they get to eat meat, the history behind this is rather dark. Back in Vedic times, animal sacrifices were common and the lower castes were called upon to clean up. They would use the carcass as food.
Also, in the Vedic times, every caste would eat meat including the priestly and warrior castes. In fact, the vedas talk about offering beef to a Hindu priest. However, with the introduction of Jainism the Hindus had to do something to curb this fast spreading religion with it's non-violent ethos. That's when they switched to vegetarianism.
The biggest insult was when the lady positioned Gandhi as some sort of savior of the lower castes. He was one of the biggest casteists of his day, who went on an indefinite fast to protest the granting of a separate electorate to lower castes/Dalits. Mind you, he was fine with other communities getting separate electorates. "Harijan" is just his red herring to hide his casteism.
I am also shocked that as the narrator and the lady (interviewed) spoke of Constitution, the didn't mention Dr. Ambedkar, the chief architect, the first law minister of India, and a Dalit who championed human rights and labor code in India and fought for decades to get equal rights for Dalits. Indians have literally written Ambedkar's name and work out of the history.
Very well explained
This is a good explanation for people who might not know what caste is .
Yes, I noticed this, too: the nonsense about the British entrenching a caste system that had ruled the society for 2000 years before any Brit stepped foot in India, the total white-washing of Gandhi's casteism and the total cancelling of Dr Ambedkar. A seriously dishonest "documentary".

Where there are people, there is always discrimination. Discrimination can have various flavors originated by superiority complex.

A catholic Christian discriminates against other Christian groups although they all pray Jesus in different ways. This disease of discrimination is like COVID-19, you cant cure it or prevent it overnight, we need to aim at flattening the curve

In my opinion, “terrible” is a massive understatement
They may have abolished the caste system by "law" but it is very likely that those inthe upper huerarchy would not want to relinquish or give up such practise because it favors them in many ways ! Just like in many ancient societies where the "ruling class" lorded it over on the lower rank,those in the upper strata will not be willing to democratise privileges,opportunities and wealth to greater masses of people. Religion in this particular social setting is meant to control and oppress greater masses of people . Talk of "democracy" ,equality and human rights in India ?!
Why would we, it's great
Unfortunately the truth is that it is going to stay as long as Hindu religion is going to survive. It already started restrengthening after extreme ring wing hindu religious political party called BJP came to power in 2014. It was in decay for a few decades after the new constitution outlawed it in 1956 and a more liberal and modern political party Congress who ruled previously tried to remove It. Is a system which remained as a system of administration for 2000 years. It is not easy to wipe off such deep rooted social structure.

Few Indians seem to understand the true meaning of Reservation - it is for REPRESENTATION. Economic class is a completely different matter. Reservations on the basis of caste are for covering the lack of presence of lower castes and Dalits in positions of power. Note ANY institution - educational, political, journalistic, corporate - you will find UCs disproportionately represented. But none of these comfortable middle class UC people want to confront this. Why? Because they don't want to lose their privilege and power.
Guess they need to control the ones with the real power in ensuring society can operate at all. The poor working classes.

@Travis Bickle a hardworking and poor forward caste person scoring 98 percent out of 100 percent is still not getting his / her Desired college but a reserved person scoring 60 percent is getting the same.

Only Top 1 percent of those 220 million forward caste are rich & aristocratic the remaining forward caste is struggling in local buses & local trains, doing menial jobs, working as underpaid slaves of Multinational corporates, etc. The biggest irony is that the person who introduced the reservation system for SC / ST strictly warned the Constituent Assembly that this reservation system is temporary and should not extend for more 10-20 years maximum otherwise it would become a mere shortcut and appeasement tool for rich politicians who are already sitting in power.

Education and a sewer system... How expensive could a sewer system be?
Id say that the economic conditions are even more important than education. If the material conditions of the lower castes don't improve, it doesn't matter how educated anyone is.

I have been working with this community in the hotel business since 2000. After watching this program it all makes sense to me how they treat their own kind. One hotel owner let Indian workers clean 30 rooms each day while American workers cleaned only 18. The owner kept their passports and made them work 7 days a week. They live in the hotel and is at the owners beck and call 24/7. When I tried to be sympathetic to them I was chastised and told that they are used to the work and it’s ok. They got paid below minimum wage and still had money docked for their room. They never complained but I was certain it was humiliating and difficult for them. They rarely have their own transportation so I would take them to the store or pick up fresh fruit and vegetables. They were always so polite, humble and kind. It was heartbreaking to watch but they would never speak up or defend themselves.

The caste system serves a very important purpose; to keep the upper class of India as Indo-European as possible... and it's worked.
Not in East India....even UCs except Brahmins look like poojeet. But it kinda worked in Assam, the Kalitas, Assamese Brahmins and Goriyas(Muslims) have caucasian features more than East India. Casteism was not much in Assam but it was there for marriage so it preserved our genes.....also the topmost officials, actors, media, officers, professors, etc. comes from Kalita and Brahmin community of Assam and sometimes Ahom(mongoloid) and that too without any kind of reservation while the tribals getting so much benefits are still backward......so I think the caste system actually made sense because even with reservation Lower Castes can't compete us.
Ghandi who made such a big deal about peace, was as intolerant of the lowest caste as everyone else. His last hunger strike was to protest and prevent the lowest caste from getting 2 seats in government.

@@sn5301679 funny because it is the Republicans and trump who introduced force teaching patriotism and stopping the teaching of slavery in America. They literally are pushing a bill to stop teaching negative aspects of America.
Lol these upper caste hindus would be treated as lower caste in Europe and Arab countries 😂
😂😂 as if upper caste hindus only came there not l0wer caste. And when it is about religi0n?? Upper caste muzlims and xristians are also there.😂😂😂mor0n

I totally agree , Caste have masssed up Hindus but balming It on scriptures is wrong , we people did It .....we Have Varna System not caste system, Caste system is more cultural , Different states have different castes , even Christians in Tamil Nadu and Southern states follow Castesim tho there is no Castiesm in Christianity... I am from Bengal , A Eastern State in Eastern State tho Hindus being majorities don't discrminates based on cast much, States like Kerala, Bengal, 8 states of NE have very less significance of caste in their culture, I am from a village in Murshidabad District of Bengal, Even In villages here People don't discrimination on caste tho, for 3/4 of India it's still ahuge issue
@@RS-lv4shut up inbred!
Wrong.. In west, your people don't do shits. They just work hard and so no westerner discriminates them.
But in other parts of asia, indians aren't very loved.
Tourists from your country and ccp are lousiest tourists (thats reality)
Your people century ago discriminated people of former british colonies while your people were serving british gov as low and mid class ranking civil servants ( Indians were second class british citizens and people of other colonies were like 3rd class citizens under british rule century ago).
Well you are the only society who served invaders (brits) willingly.
MillionS of indians served in british army. And they also served as low and middle ranking officers in british civil service.
This is reality that your historians don't tell you.
Well indians scattering around asia (outside of india) are descedents of indian workers imported by british colonial gov
Moslems read madrassa version history and you indians read craps written by loudy historians. So you guys and moslems are more ignorant in term of historical knowledge than others.
(I know every history book has biased facts though)
That's why a lot of hindus in my country convert to other religion a long time ago

We are talking abt number of followers of hinduism here
Its amazing how we as humans find ways to create barriers and hate fellow humans, breathing the same air, drinking the same water and eating produce from the same earth. And indeed we feel the same pain too... Damn which body part u came out forget your damn mythology and live well and let other live.. Lets be happy together
15:00 What a good person. Makes me proud of the new generations.
@Steve Well, there's your first problem, you listened to that evil book.
Do you remember the story of Lot? Where he offered his daughters up to be raped, and then at the end of the story his daughters raped him.
What a sick and disgusting book, and I'm not even talking about all the murdering 'The father in heaven' perpetrated.
Good thing we have iron chariots now, that seems to stop your evil father in heaven.
Didn't expect to see you here, Phantom.
Even Gandhi who was of Vaisiya cast approves Indian cast system -- that is why Mr. Ambegar never called Gandhi a Mahatma (gentleman ) i.
The most interesting thing about this to me is that I can see how this caste system sounded like a good idea in theory. When you describe the castes with relaxing flute music playing, you can kinda see how people thought that this would be a good way to organize society and make sure that everyone can contribute to society in their own way and everyone can benefit from everyone else's work.
Obviously this didn't work well in practice.
How the hell is this good idea lol... Its obvious with marriage, different gene bring different feature to child. There is someone with great art skill, there is someone with great math thinking.... And someone could physically stronk.
Imagine a smoll Gurkha is not appointed as warrior.... Waste of talent.
And cannt imagine a dumb kid with great marketing skill become math teacher.
@@skarhabekgreyrukh8601, indeed it's a g00d idea.
Good point. I think one has to truly live it to know what it's like
bruh do you really believe ppl accepted caste system because there was flute music going on nearby?
I think it was more to divide the society and control it than to benefit it.
You really think that a ruler from thousands of years ago gave a shit about their subjects?
Thank
God I am a Christian and
Jesus embraced all kinds of people, especially those who were ordinary and had little in the way of wealth. The caste system is totally wrong but very different to eradicate!
Jesus don't condemned the slavery in the old testament
No different from Slavery, or Apartheid which are sanctioned by the State . Caste system is a form of discrimination sanctioned by religion.
Hinduism didn't do anything.
Bic trans. You clearly have not come across Sura 9 text 29?

actually it is not CASTE., it is VARNAM . Varnam referes to Skillset. It is no way discrimination but highlights the skillset everyone has. Of course, it was abused by too many which is a different matter. Thie word "Caste" has come from the West and as per their policies it was easy to divide and rule Indians. For example, we have IT people, Engineers, Doctors etc which is Varnam. Even within , say Doctors, we have Physicians, Surgeons, etc. This is not discrimination but divisions based onskillset & expertise for the sake of conducting things efficiently. So, that is the concept of Varnam. Unfortunately, most Indians won't dig into their own rich cultural knowledge but just cowtow whatever any westerner says.
I have Indian friends, both highly educated physicians from monied families, and waited months to name their infant until proscribed by the family astrologer, long distance from India,and numerous other esoteric ancient traditions molded their private lives, some clearly backward, unquestioned, and rigidly maintained. I believe this is much more prevalent than admitted.
😂😂😂 they all belongs to upper caste.
Some doctors in the west go to church, which is a backward cult that punished practice of medical science few hundred years ago. What an irony.
Nah it’s just ancient astrology westerners also practice astrology plus most Indian that are part of newer gen don’t practice it.
@@totallynotsomeoneelse8075 You are right it's ancient astrology. But we still practice our traditions, it's not forced on us. We do it because we like to continue our traditions. I am as modern as a modern Indian can get, unless modern Indian means westernised Indian.
Unfortunately, if one is exposed to ancient astrology, it feels risky to disregard it. It is a psychological thing that being 'backward'. It is kind of difficult to see when not in it. I am guessing you are a doctor too. So you should be able to relate to the anxiety one feels when going against the prescribed course.
Some Indians take this casts system with them, when they immigrate to other countries. And thus, organizations and cities in the US are starting to pass laws against caste discrimination. One more problem to deal with.
They don’t like black ppl in America! But if it wasn’t for blacks they wouldn’t be here. We fought for their rights to be In United States! 😮They need to send them back to India!
I've worked in tech for almost 3 decades so I've had to collaborate with a lot of Indians over the years. I can't tell you how many projects have been derailed by their own in fighting. I think it's probably caste based.
