This is so true , I live in Brampton Indian decent of Caribbean origin. They will not even speak or look at you because you're different but will suck up to the other color..
To be honest many untouchables themselves practice untouchability among their fellow caste. If untouchability exists among untouchables itself they have no right to complain and play victim card.
@Sahilrao-123 You are the lier here.Balmikis and pasis are in constant war in each other.Madiga and mala caste fight each other.Pallars being dalit practice untouchability against Parayas .Kheteek being dalit see dholi and bhaga as unclean. You are dalit that is why you are hiding this to play victim card. If you want equality why are you taking reservations which is based on inequality.
@Sahilrao-123 Dalits themselves do caste discrimination among themselves. If casteism cannot be eliminated among Dalits itself it is the problem of Dalits,the dalit groups itself.
@Sahilrao-123 By that logic if upper caste people deny casteism will you accept that? Ground reality of casteim is not just gm, obc vs Dalits it is even dalits vs Dalits which has been hidden from the majority of people by Dalit people like you to play victim card.
@Sahilrao-123 You dalit people even after converting to Christianity and Buddhism also call yourself as dalit only and here you are asking about Hinduism.What hypocrat you dumb Dalits are. The problem is with you dalit,dalit groups and political parties which campaign for your cause.
I’ve had Indian friends growing up tell their parents hate me because of their ways back home also on the TTC a lot of East Asians have the odd idea to invade my space and even tell me a black Canadian man that although I’m already sitting down on the train, I need to immediately get up and give my seat over to them ( usually Indian people that seem to be newcomers). One fellow man even tried to berate me because I should know to give up my seat. I told him “ this is Canada, don’t bring that caste system bs over here, assuming because I’m black I’m supposed to make way for you is comedy at best buddy”. If I was born with my brown skin in India I would be considered untouchable, would have no rights snd would permanently be stuck under everyone else in perpetuity.
Not sure it's the caste system that you experienced on your train journey so much as self entitlement of India's modern urban population which apart from the rote education they learn in schools are not really taught basic social skills, respect for others and personal space as well as grooming. I'm an Indian American who experienced similar though not exactly the same issues as you did with a roommate who grew up in India.
This was a brilliant interview, show casing something that is often considered taboo to even talk about. My Family lived in the Middle East for a long time, and when I was in high school, returned to South India where my parents were from. The first day of school, a lady from the office came and called out my name. She was holding a register, and asked what caste I was, as my parents didn't fill it in the form. I said, 'I don't know my caste'. Almost 35 years later, I can still hear the loud gasp that came from my classmates....in shock that I didn't know what my caste was. Till then, it didn't matter and my parents didn't feel the need to tell me about that. The lady holding the register looked at me in shock. She said, 'You don't know what caste you are? Go home and ask your Father!' LOL now....but at the time, I was made to feel so bad. When it comes time for marriage, is when the caste system is mentioned the most. I also have to add, that we are Christians. So it doesn't matter what religion you are in India, the original caste that your ancestors were, carries on with you generations later. So happy to see this segment.
And who is responsible for it carrying through even in Christanity or Islam in India. It's a societal issue and not religional. Secondly no scripture ot ancient text ever said birth based caste system. Society just fell off over time and now Hinduism is made to carry the burden of this crap.
It is the people for sure. Even the quota for seats for medical admissions etc is wrong. It should be based on education and help the poor to get educated in the schooling system to be on par for the exams. On another point, people can be educated, but still go back to these practices when facing society for issues like marriage. Will be great when all of this is behind us. Newspapers and Matrimonial sites should also ban the practice of asking people what caste they are. Schools should not ask either. @@vikasmishra4167
In every Government form you fill up in India Caste is always asked cuz you get concessions in Cutoff's and even at a monetary level based on reservation policy.
@@vyomchauhan2931 no concessions were given for anyone. It was just for data and the forms they used were so old, no one changed them to not include caste. This was in the 1980's. Don't know if it changed now.
Caste(word from Portuguese casta NOTE : India was invaded by them ) ??Pyramid?? As far as I have learn, it was part of "ONE BODY" and Bramin were put as head its because they used their intelligent (brain) to do their job more. For example just because you were born in a Doctors family does not make you a doctor, Krishna have clearly said this? I heard that in Hindu culture there are fours way in finding the truth so that's why Hindu parents DONT force as everyone is seen as a seeker. The Four Way are : Karma Yoga (Doing action around the world like helping poor people) Bhakti Yoga (Through devotion to any divine you love) Jnana Yoga(Thought intelligent like the Atheist) Kriya yoga(Through Energy by doing Mediation, Yoga(unity)) Clearly showing the freedom you get when you are born in a Hindu culture.
I’m an Indian from a metro . People here are so delusional, they think the caste system is long gone. But the truth is that it’s rampant in the non urban parts of the country , which is the most part. Especially given the political leadership of current India, it’s only getting worse.

You can always see the behavior of Indian employees especially managers and if they treat any other Indian or people of color poorly know that he/she might be from upper caste, one of my friends complained the HR about this and they immediately fired the manager who was an Indian and later the Indian lower caste employee who was treated poorly was given a promotion, that Indian employee is my friend's colleague..

Glad to see that someone is talking about this. I have seen this type of treatment with my own eyes and even have that hatred projected to me here in Canada. I was so shock by it all and still cannot believe that this is happening here in Canada.
@@ashelythas7017you keep repeating the same statement on every thread. That's hardly the right response. At any rate, the caste system in Africa is not that way. People can actually work their way out of it.
She should have mentioned that caste is associated with surname, so it's not 'racially'-marked like it is in North America, although there is bigotry against darker-skinned people--especially women--and a preference for lighter or 'wheaten' complexions.
@@TraceyJean Yes. And there are light-skinned Dalits. But even within and between castes, colourism is prevalent, based more on white supremacy and proximity to whiteness than on caste.
@@EmpressAshe Yaaa in ur dreams. A fair skin person with blue, grey or brown eyes can be lower caste too and a black person with dark curly hair can be upper caste too. Coulurism has nothing to do with caste system.
@@SarojSingh-nq5qlbut it's true, that sc/st people from south and central Indian states have less caucasian mix in them that other caste groups. In 2-3 northern states, even Sc/St group people can have caucasian Gene' mix. But yes majority of Indians are brown skin. I dont know why Canadian media is making it such a big issue?. Because in India people from any caste or religion are given equal rights and access to education. Even general category people in Urban areas do not mind inter-caste or religion marriage by personal consent on both the sides, and this is a thing since 90's...in India. Also, what about reservations given to people from Sc, St, Obc caste groups in India, even when they become rich? I'm not justifying casteism abroad. But people marrying in there own caste (which has same culture, food habbits, religious beliefs) or using a certain sirname isn't castiest at all, it's a personal choice.
First learnt about this caste system in my literature class from a book called "A House for Mr. Biswas". At the time it never impacted me. Now, several years later, I am realizing this is a problem. Funny, today a relative of mine and I were talking and this very subject came up. It was the first time I had ever discussed it and here you are educating us further about it.
It's so painful that human beings continue this & other detrimental treatment of other human beings. We will never reach our full potential as a species with this nonsense. Patriarchy, caste, class or skin color it's wrong. I cannot imagine looking down at a new born baby & limiting their life in such a manner.
Nowhere near as evil as Nazis or the whites who killed 25 million people in India with a constructed famine, actually sold people in markets basef on their skin color. Nor is it anywhere near as bad as Islamic jihad. There's plenty more disgusting to look at. You just choose to ignore most of it but fixate on this.

Caste is one thing, but every south asian I meet only hang out or marry or doing business with their community. So its just a huge downfall and continous plague of being competitive, merely judge on your creed than personality
People who think they are better than others or have to treat people in that way usually have moral issues and low self esteem. Sad how humans can treat people in such a way. No matter where I found myself in life, I never looked down my nose on anyone. It hurt me as she referred to her family as an "untouchable.." Castes/unequal power relations are made to keep a certain order in society and to benefit those who create the system and ensure their future generations that same privilege. Humans are terrible to each other. Castes, classism, colorism, racism, nationalism, etc. All moral issues that start in the hearts of man.
Everything this woman says in regards to caste is so similar to what happened to Black Americans in the United States. The only thing is the Indian Caste system is way older than the Americans.
No it's not! India's situation is NOT based on skin tone. It's not at all. There are darker skinned Brahmins in India. Dalit's are also ethnically the same as Indians, unlike African Americans relative to European Americans. Dalits also make up 166 M people. Many are highly educated because of Indian Affirmative action policy.
@@imacarguy4065 India also had slavery for a long time. The Siddi people who are also Indian and very much looked down on by the larger Indian society are actually Black "racially" with ancestors directly from Africa. Your system is older and longer the Americans and just as discriminatory, if not more so, no matter how you try to gloss it up. Your form of bigotry is not better, sorry. Americ is nothing but a baby compared to your system in India. It is what it is.
My God.... perhaps some cultural traditions and beliefs need to be left back in the "old country".... It seems like this sickening belief in a caste system is one of them.
Some try to escape it, but there will always be somebody who knows about the historical aspect who will bring it up. Much to the dismay of the one trying to keep it under wraps. Humans will always be ugly to each other
This is true in India, very sad truth about society in India, especially in rural india. metro cities are much better, but even educated people follow caste system. Sad but true! Metro cities are much better, lots of intercast marriages happen, mine is an intercaste marriage, so it does happen.
@@autumnjade815 Isn't it hilarious how this is always made about black people? You're one of the largest demos in North America. Dalits are also indistinguishable from the average Indian. Lots of Dark skinned Indians are Brahmins because a lot of Dark Skinned Indians are high castes from South India. Ramaswamy being an example. And Indians aren't the only ones who treat you like sh*t. Most stay in their lane ffs. Blck people are r@cist in far worse, VIOLENT ways. Why this is denied is beyond me! I'm from the Caribbean, I know this for a fact.

Interesting like people like Kamala Harris don’t condemn this and talk about this over and over. This has alot to do with hiring practices when hiring manager has that background.
Kamala Harris has to deal with the racism in America. Trump does not want Biden to die and she become president. She's got that to ponder on. The MAGATS are waiting in the wings
@@NileGoddessBecause of colonialism everyone in America whose not white is discriminated against. This is part of the overall issues in America as well. I don’t fault her that it hasn’t come up yet, but I’d also like to hear more about it. “Until ALL of us are free, NONE of us are free.” Period.
There are Dalits among doctors, administrative service officers, military officers, government service officials in India. This is largely due to generous reservations in colleges, in administrative services, and in government job postings. So its a lie that Dalit is an inescapable class. But caste discrimination does still exist in marriages, and in social acceptance, that's a fact. Also, not sure why or how she faced caste based discrimination in Canada. I have lived in Canada, and later on in USA for 25 years, raised 2 daughters, sent them through high school and college, and the elder one is about to get married to an Indian origin man. Never have we, or our daughters, faced any caste based discrimination from the Indian society, or even any caste related questions. And we are dark skinned Dravidians from south India, where caste is still a big social issue. My point is, the caste system is very much a part of Indian social structure, but when educated Indians move abroad, they leave the caste system behind. So In our experience, caste system is not present in the fabric of the Indian society in north America.
Please tell that to my Ancestors lost in the #MiddlePassage during the Transatlantic Slave Trade! Do they even teach about that in school anymore?!? 🤔🗣️👀😡 How condescending and disrespectful to the descendants of that GLOBAL collusion of WICKEDNESS, don’t you think?!? #BlackHistoryMonth2024

I am lower caste, my friend's parents are brahmin. I am tall, handsome, extremely intelligent (doing phd in computer science, i started studying computer science from scratch 2 years ago and now im working on distributed networking systems and distributed computing). I used to live in Canada, since Canada is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society, women from all parts of the world(especially eastern europe, Arab and latino) consider me good-looking. There is a stereotype in India that Brahmins are intelligent and kshatriyas are very good looking. The brahmin people look at me like as if I am a glitch in the system, like how the hell did a low caste guy become better than us? I love seeing that look on their face, plus i have a natural talent in understanding politics, business, economics (things kshatriyas are known for) meanwhile I know a kshatriya guy who is dumb bozo and fat and short. I think about this and laugh to myself.

As someone who admires several things about India and has many Indian friends, I abhorr everything about the caste system. Great program to expose and eradicate this foolish Caste System.
So is every single ideology chief. I'd say Hinduism is the least rooted in racism. No Blasphemy within it. "Racism" comes within this ideology when it comes time to marry someone from your Ethnocultural background. Because we're looking at preserving the culture. Discrimination is going to occur here. This discrimination is also towards every outsider. Not just darker skinned people.

But rajputs shared DNA,to mughals by giving them rajput women. You need to come to US brother you will remember your experience, you'll be in hospital after it. Come try it with us.
The caste system prevails in non-Hindu communities in India as well. The idea that people do not have the same worth (for whatever reason) was the norm for most of the world for most of history. It's what justified, kingship by birth, lordships, feudal societies and even the very British concept of "knowing one's station". Even when the US Declaration of Independence said that "all men are created equal", that was not the case for black slaves. The bottom line, people are very capable of being very inhumane with other people. Nobody has a monopoly on that form of cruelty. This is why people like Meera are needed - not only to remind us that THIS STILL goes on, but that it's happening in our midst. This country is a work in progress, but it must be understood, work is required for the progress to continue. In the mean time, those of us who never grew up in the caste system, or exposed to it, should keep an eye out for our friends who may have been exposed and labelled by it, and insure they get treated fairly. We cannot build a better country, if its citizens cannot be given a fair shot on what it has to offer, or a chance to contribute more as the heart desires.
What she did not say is that in India caste discrimination is outlawed and the government has a lot of incentives for the sub caste communities. No doubt this is hard to police in a very ancient country of over a billion people. Discrimination is a cultural practice and hard to police.
So. Culture trumps policy. One thing I noticed is that people who practice disgusting acts like this. If it’s not popular in society, they hide. The more and more it’s acceptable, the more they come out.
It was never part of religious doctrine...it was just a division of class..but later it was used as a tool by powerful and was more instigated by Islamic invasion and British rule...I am from lower caste group...but I am engineer working in a private company...I have never faced issue and With development and end of colonialism hangover,and when we truly know our religious scripture people will stop descriminating.
You need to learn history if you seriously believe its "one group of people" who perpetuate this ignorance. Unfortunately ignorance and discrimination is found all over the world and it comes in many forms.
@@lungamadoda6992You don't even know 2% of what India is but somehow it is backwards.

DALITS ARE INDIANS BOTTOM LINE. They ain't African. They don't look African. When humans left Africa, they did not look one particular way. They were diverse.
The so called untouchables now want to kill the brahmins and actively do by misusing laws in India. Brahmins who have actually never done anything to them.
Caste crusader and great reformer in India named Babasaheb Ambedkar said when Indians go abroad they will carry caste in their suitcase it will become global problem.
Castiesm is not prevelant in urban areas in India and then how can casteism be in foreign countries. This lady wants reservation even in foreign countries.That is why she is telling lies and playing victim card.
In my personal experience, I have not seen this "explicit" caste discrimination in people who have lived in urban India for at least two to three generations. It is mostly practiced by people who recently moved from the rural part. Due to IT revolution, a lot of educated people from rural India have moved to foreign countries, and they take this nuisance along with them.
I definitely feel discriminated against and have experienced it by new Canadian Indian security guards and I’m not even indo Canadian at all. There’s a class, race, colourist and bias this whole worldview exudes. It’s palpable.
Singh ? Rajputs? you guys sent lots of royal rajput women to mughals and our white British governors , the SDM spent 3 days with a rajputani I've heard there is a place in India called sonagachi where almost all prostitutes are rajput women . Show your attitude here in US before us and you'll become a part of Indian history.
I notice this kind of discrimination by some of the poor new comer Indian security people all around the city in pharmacies and all kinds of places. They don’t get enough equity and anti black racism training. They definitely have been known to profile and this is sad because they’re at the bottom of the barrel here. I believe many of these companies like rexall and shoppers drug mart need to give more anti racism and equity trainings to these indo Canadian new comer security guards.
It's better if you fire them, I have heard this before one of my friends had an Indian man as manager and he didn't promote my colleague who is super intelligent, I used to wonder why. Upon knowing him more he told he's from lower caste and manager is Brahman(which is the highest caste according to Hinduism), I complained the HR and explained everything and they fired the manager and prompted my colleague.
In rural societies of Indian, there is no need of any kind of menial work. Even still today. So why there be any untouchable caste ? Neither ‘caste’ word is Indian nor ‘Zaat/Jaat’ . Zaat is Arabic word having sense of status. None of ancient Indian person have surname to identify caste. It’s Europian tradition. They have surname like Smith, Goldsmith, Gardner, shoemaker etc etc, indicating their ancestor’s work. Every religion in South Asia have caste system, which was imposed on them by outsiders invaders.
Once the the legend dr . Ambedkar warned us centuries ago . World ignored him , when they know him well , they will undrstand what is actual evilness in the world , thats is caste .

There is only 2 castes in India, rich and poor when it comes to marriage. Any higher caste will happily marry a lower caste for money. All other caste system are for getting political vote.
That upholds the cast. That just shows you that someone who is in a higher cast can get with someone else of a lower cast who is rich and Mary right into money. Who gets the better part of the deal? The upper cast person.
@@jashuasmith9361 maybe you're right but in ancient age their forefathers were consider as lower caste because they were bums, less intelligent people. If their decendents works hard and get rich, upper class people would respect them in this generation, isn't it great that they are getting respect based on their deeds and potential marriage consideration by upper class people?
@@codingiscreativity well what I know of cast from colonialism is that it doesn’t give credit. Where a lot of it was influenced everywhere. It steals it in everyway possible , while at the same time, taking your skill, imposing backbreaking labor, along with your resources of the land being swiped, along with all your crap, while simultaneously degrading you in every way possibly imagine. I would more be interested in a person who is at the bottom of someones cast figuring a way out from under it. I don’t buy that a person just tries hard & they make it. When you have people doing what they can to make sure that cast system stays in place. Having an upper mobility society by giving a lot of opportunity, makes no sense when you’re trying to upload a cast. And the recognition is about what they can get. A lot of times you have bums that don’t have anything but a social title, try to use that timer against others are more substantive, attractive and skilled, have PF by reject, to drag them down in order to make their mediocre delves feel big. I’d rather things be more transactional in a mutual beneficial way, through
How u r forced into this !! you can easily blame someone... Even if u don't have any merits. U r saying u heard about it from someone but don't have own experience.

There is nothing wrong with speaking about the history of a country. All countries throughout world have faults and India is just one. This problem definitely exists in the school system. So I don't believe much of the mindset has changed if children today are involved in it. It's best to bring it to the open to help solve the problem.

Disgusting Propoganda😡 Learn basics: There is no caste system in Hinduism. We have VARNA Varna means occupation people doing- -Soldiers of any caste called Kshatriya -Teacher of any caste called brahmin - Business man of any caste called Vaishya -Other worker called Shudras Just read bhagwat geeta BG 18.41: The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras-are distributed according to their qualities, in accordance with their guṇas (and not by birth).

This video is PURE LIE!!!! In Bharat(or India) we don't considers CASTE important anymore... well the system have been destorted and made rigid by the Britishers... which was previously extremely and based not upon your birth but, your work... the name of that system is... VARNA SYSTEM. This matter of CASTE SYSTEM is used by everyone who wants to harm Sanatan Dharma(famously known as Hinduism), Sanatanis(famously known as Hindus) and Bharat(famously known as India)... who don't want to see the culture spread and that civilization grow... as it got answers to all the flaws out there... and also the growth and strengthening of Bharat. I have many friends in USA and Canada... I have never seen them doing such things in the name of caste and Sanatan Dharma... how can it be, when its not a matter even in Bharat? PEOPLE WATCHING THIS... AND THINKING THAT ITS TRUE... I REQUEST TO RESEARCH MORE ABOUT THIS CASTE MATTER... AND ALSO TO VISIT BHARAT TO CROSS CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE. I AM TELLING YOU ALL... ITS A SIMPLE AND TYPICAL ATTEMPT TO HARM SANATAN DHARMA AND THAT GREAT CIVILIZATION... AND NOTHING ELSE!!!

People migrate to new countries and takes their narrow minds thinking with them very sad!
Yes they do. They hang up over color. Terrible.
YOU ARE BLAMING THE VICTIM.
100%
True
This is so true , I live in Brampton Indian decent of Caribbean origin. They will not even speak or look at you because you're different but will suck up to the other color..
I read about the Untouchables. Really sad how we as humans treat each other. The ignorance is astounding.
To be honest many untouchables themselves practice untouchability among their fellow caste.
If untouchability exists among untouchables itself they have no right to complain and play victim card.
@Sahilrao-123 You are the lier here.Balmikis and pasis are in constant war in each other.Madiga and mala caste fight each other.Pallars being dalit practice untouchability against Parayas .Kheteek being dalit see dholi and bhaga as unclean.
You are dalit that is why you are hiding this to play victim card.
If you want equality why are you taking reservations which is based on inequality.
@Sahilrao-123 Dalits themselves do caste discrimination among themselves.
If casteism cannot be eliminated among Dalits itself it is the problem of Dalits,the dalit groups itself.
@Sahilrao-123 By that logic if upper caste people deny casteism will you accept that?
Ground reality of casteim is not just gm, obc vs Dalits it is even dalits vs Dalits which has been hidden from the majority of people by Dalit people like you to play victim card.
@Sahilrao-123 You dalit people even after converting to Christianity and Buddhism also call yourself as dalit only and here you are asking about Hinduism.What hypocrat you dumb Dalits are.
The problem is with you dalit,dalit groups and political parties which campaign for your cause.
I’ve had Indian friends growing up tell their parents hate me because of their ways back home also on the TTC a lot of East Asians have the odd idea to invade my space and even tell me a black Canadian man that although I’m already sitting down on the train, I need to immediately get up and give my seat over to them ( usually Indian people that seem to be newcomers). One fellow man even tried to berate me because I should know to give up my seat. I told him “ this is Canada, don’t bring that caste system bs over here, assuming because I’m black I’m supposed to make way for you is comedy at best buddy”.
If I was born with my brown skin in India I would be considered untouchable, would have no rights snd would permanently be stuck under everyone else in perpetuity.
What????
Not surprised.
I am Indian, this behaviour is shameful...m glad you didnt take that lying down...what an A-Hole
Not sure it's the caste system that you experienced on your train journey so much as self entitlement of India's modern urban population which apart from the rote education they learn in schools are not really taught basic social skills, respect for others and personal space as well as grooming. I'm an Indian American who experienced similar though not exactly the same issues as you did with a roommate who grew up in India.
As usual a bl00dy lying bot
This was a brilliant interview, show casing something that is often considered taboo to even talk about. My Family lived in the Middle East for a long time, and when I was in high school, returned to South India where my parents were from. The first day of school, a lady from the office came and called out my name. She was holding a register, and asked what caste I was, as my parents didn't fill it in the form. I said, 'I don't know my caste'. Almost 35 years later, I can still hear the loud gasp that came from my classmates....in shock that I didn't know what my caste was. Till then, it didn't matter and my parents didn't feel the need to tell me about that. The lady holding the register looked at me in shock. She said, 'You don't know what caste you are? Go home and ask your Father!' LOL now....but at the time, I was made to feel so bad. When it comes time for marriage, is when the caste system is mentioned the most. I also have to add, that we are Christians. So it doesn't matter what religion you are in India, the original caste that your ancestors were, carries on with you generations later. So happy to see this segment.
And who is responsible for it carrying through even in Christanity or Islam in India. It's a societal issue and not religional. Secondly no scripture ot ancient text ever said birth based caste system. Society just fell off over time and now Hinduism is made to carry the burden of this crap.
It is the people for sure. Even the quota for seats for medical admissions etc is wrong. It should be based on education and help the poor to get educated in the schooling system to be on par for the exams. On another point, people can be educated, but still go back to these practices when facing society for issues like marriage. Will be great when all of this is behind us. Newspapers and Matrimonial sites should also ban the practice of asking people what caste they are. Schools should not ask either.
@@vikasmishra4167
She asked u coz dalits gets reservation and fee consesion and many other facilities based on castes.
In every Government form you fill up in India Caste is always asked cuz you get concessions in Cutoff's and even at a monetary level based on reservation policy.
@@vyomchauhan2931 no concessions were given for anyone. It was just for data and the forms they used were so old, no one changed them to not include caste. This was in the 1980's. Don't know if it changed now.

You can always see the behavior of Indian employees especially managers and if they treat any other Indian or people of color poorly know that he/she might be from upper caste, one of my friends complained the HR about this and they immediately fired the manager who was an Indian and later the Indian lower caste employee who was treated poorly was given a promotion, that Indian employee is my friend's colleague..

Glad to see that someone is talking about this. I have seen this type of treatment with my own eyes and even have that hatred projected to me here in Canada. I was so shock by it all and still cannot believe that this is happening here in Canada.
Considering your name, I take it you're black. Buddy, this would apply to everyone non-black. It isn't dependent on caste whatsoever.
@@ashelythas7017you keep repeating the same statement on every thread. That's hardly the right response. At any rate, the caste system in Africa is not that way. People can actually work their way out of it.
@@ashelythas7017who your ass is burning
She should have mentioned that caste is associated with surname, so it's not 'racially'-marked like it is in North America, although there is bigotry against darker-skinned people--especially women--and a preference for lighter or 'wheaten' complexions.
Yeah, but are there any dark skinned Brahmin?
@@TraceyJean Yes. And there are light-skinned Dalits. But even within and between castes, colourism is prevalent, based more on white supremacy and proximity to whiteness than on caste.
@@TraceyJeanyes we have dark skin Brahmins in Guyana.
@@TraceyJeanThat may be so. But once you have a certain surname you're good.

Yaaa in ur dreams.
A fair skin person with blue, grey or brown eyes can be lower caste too and a black person with dark curly hair can be upper caste too.
Coulurism has nothing to do with caste system.
@@SarojSingh-nq5qlbut it's true, that sc/st people from south and central Indian states have less caucasian mix in them that other caste groups. In 2-3 northern states, even Sc/St group people can have caucasian Gene' mix. But yes majority of Indians are brown skin. I dont know why Canadian media is making it such a big issue?. Because in India people from any caste or religion are given equal rights and access to education. Even general category people in Urban areas do not mind inter-caste or religion marriage by personal consent on both the sides, and this is a thing since 90's...in India. Also, what about reservations given to people from Sc, St, Obc caste groups in India, even when they become rich? I'm not justifying casteism abroad. But people marrying in there own caste (which has same culture, food habbits, religious beliefs) or using a certain sirname isn't castiest at all, it's a personal choice.
First learnt about this caste system in my literature class from a book called "A House for Mr. Biswas". At the time it never impacted me. Now, several years later, I am realizing this is a problem. Funny, today a relative of mine and I were talking and this very subject came up. It was the first time I had ever discussed it and here you are educating us further about it.

Caste is one thing, but every south asian I meet only hang out or marry or doing business with their community. So its just a huge downfall and continous plague of being competitive, merely judge on your creed than personality
People who think they are better than others or have to treat people in that way usually have moral issues and low self esteem. Sad how humans can treat people in such a way. No matter where I found myself in life, I never looked down my nose on anyone. It hurt me as she referred to her family as an "untouchable.." Castes/unequal power relations are made to keep a certain order in society and to benefit those who create the system and ensure their future generations that same privilege. Humans are terrible to each other. Castes, classism, colorism, racism, nationalism, etc. All moral issues that start in the hearts of man.
I never knew that existed....I love her strength in standing up for other people who arent able to speak up❤
Everything this woman says in regards to caste is so similar to what happened to Black Americans in the United States. The only thing is the Indian Caste system is way older than the Americans.
No it's not! India's situation is NOT based on skin tone. It's not at all. There are darker skinned Brahmins in India.
Dalit's are also ethnically the same as Indians, unlike African Americans relative to European Americans. Dalits also make up 166 M people. Many are highly educated because of Indian Affirmative action policy.

How about in the west if ALL Indians are “untouchable” except those that would be “untouchable” in India
Forward caste upholds caste system to secure their privilege in society in the name of Hinduism which had kept the Indian society weaker.
There are Dalits among doctors, administrative service officers, military officers, government service officials in India. This is largely due to generous reservations in colleges, in administrative services, and in government job postings. So its a lie that Dalit is an inescapable class.
But caste discrimination does still exist in marriages, and in social acceptance, that's a fact.
Also, not sure why or how she faced caste based discrimination in Canada. I have lived in Canada, and later on in USA for 25 years, raised 2 daughters, sent them through high school and college, and the elder one is about to get married to an Indian origin man. Never have we, or our daughters, faced any caste based discrimination from the Indian society, or even any caste related questions. And we are dark skinned Dravidians from south India, where caste is still a big social issue. My point is, the caste system is very much a part of Indian social structure, but when educated Indians move abroad, they leave the caste system behind. So In our experience, caste system is not present in the fabric of the Indian society in north America.

I am lower caste, my friend's parents are brahmin. I am tall, handsome, extremely intelligent (doing phd in computer science, i started studying computer science from scratch 2 years ago and now im working on distributed networking systems and distributed computing). I used to live in Canada, since Canada is a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society, women from all parts of the world(especially eastern europe, Arab and latino) consider me good-looking. There is a stereotype in India that Brahmins are intelligent and kshatriyas are very good looking. The brahmin people look at me like as if I am a glitch in the system, like how the hell did a low caste guy become better than us? I love seeing that look on their face, plus i have a natural talent in understanding politics, business, economics (things kshatriyas are known for) meanwhile I know a kshatriya guy who is dumb bozo and fat and short.

"Racism" comes within this ideology when it comes time to marry someone from your Ethnocultural background. Because we're looking at preserving the culture. Discrimination is going to occur here.
This discrimination is also towards every outsider. Not just darker skinned people.
@@imacarguy4065 :
Hear it from the historian himself and please buy his book and let's not pretend. It's an ideology that needs to be eradicated period.

But rajputs shared DNA,to mughals by giving them rajput women. You need to come to US brother you will remember your experience, you'll be in hospital after it. Come try it with us.
The caste system prevails in non-Hindu communities in India as well. The idea that people do not have the same worth (for whatever reason) was the norm for most of the world for most of history. It's what justified, kingship by birth, lordships, feudal societies and even the very British concept of "knowing one's station". Even when the US Declaration of Independence said that "all men are created equal", that was not the case for black slaves. The bottom line, people are very capable of being very inhumane with other people. Nobody has a monopoly on that form of cruelty. This is why people like Meera are needed - not only to remind us that THIS STILL goes on, but that it's happening in our midst. This country is a work in progress, but it must be understood, work is required for the progress to continue. In the mean time, those of us who never grew up in the caste system, or exposed to it, should keep an eye out for our friends who may have been exposed and labelled by it, and insure they get treated fairly. We cannot build a better country, if its citizens cannot be given a fair shot on what it has to offer, or a chance to contribute more as the heart desires.
Interesting topic.
Love love love ❤️
What she did not say is that in India caste discrimination is outlawed and the government has a lot of incentives for the sub caste communities. No doubt this is hard to police in a very ancient country of over a billion people. Discrimination is a cultural practice and hard to police.
So. Culture trumps policy. One thing I noticed is that people who practice disgusting acts like this. If it’s not popular in society, they hide. The more and more it’s acceptable, the more they come out.
It was never part of religious doctrine...it was just a division of class..but later it was used as a tool by powerful and was more instigated by Islamic invasion and British rule...I am from lower caste group...but I am engineer working in a private company...I have never faced issue and With development and end of colonialism hangover,and when we truly know our religious scripture people will stop descriminating.
Bravo! ❤

British rule instigated caste system? More like the British were the first to give lower castes equal rights and education.
Western media is laughing at the Indian caste system..😂😂
It’s always this one group of people who perpetuate this ignorance
You need to learn history if you seriously believe its "one group of people" who perpetuate this ignorance. Unfortunately ignorance and discrimination is found all over the world and it comes in many forms.
For some reason India 🇮🇳 is a bit backwards
@@lungamadoda6992You don't even know 2% of what India is but somehow it is backwards. The forwards must be slave traders, racists, jihadists, nazis and whites who killed over 25 million people in India alone by constructed famines. Look at your own history before pointing fingers at others. The caste system hasn't even killed 1% of people of what your forefathers have done.
Caste systems came from Europe not India ,but on steroids in India . Its a white thing not South Indian
Lies!!
Good job ❤
So, this gives you context and mindset of Bobby, Nick Halley and Vaswamy on campaign trail in USA politics. No different from Sunak in UK😢
What the f*** are you on about? Bobby and Nicki are Christians genius! Nicki's daughter is also with a blck guy. This is a Hindu, Muslim and Sikh think predominantly. Sunak's situation is intricate as well.
There is no nuance here as well.
Some ppl just want to be in control. Really sad…
Shes a strong woman. Good on her. I completely empathise with her purpose
0:51 this lady is gorgeous wow. I've been looking at different sources for the caste system information . Very interesting but very restrictive. In cases where you fall in love with somebody from a different caste.
This behaviour of hatred to true originals of earth need to stop!!!!!!the grafted people need to stop this behaviour all over the world...i all know who I am talking about
DALITS ARE INDIANS BOTTOM LINE. They ain't African. They don't look African. When humans left Africa, they did not look one particular way. They were diverse.
Wow..thanks for sharing
Is this even as relevent in this day and age.. its almost people want to keep it alive..
Difficult to kill old habits. This has been going on for centuries and then there is politics that divide and conquer
The so called untouchables now want to kill the brahmins and actively do by misusing laws in India. Brahmins who have actually never done anything to them.
Caste crusader and great reformer in India named Babasaheb Ambedkar said when Indians go abroad they will carry caste in their suitcase it will become global problem.
Castiesm is not prevelant in urban areas in India and then how can casteism be in foreign countries.
This lady wants reservation even in foreign countries.That is why she is telling lies and playing victim card.
I am from Kerala, South India. Here the priesthood of certain government controlled Hindu temples are reserved only for Brahmins.
Wow. Respect
Cringe 😂😂
In my personal experience, I have not seen this "explicit" caste discrimination in people who have lived in urban India for at least two to three generations. It is mostly practiced by people who recently moved from the rural part. Due to IT revolution, a lot of educated people from rural India have moved to foreign countries, and they take this nuisance along with them.
I have seen bachelors , single women , muslim tenants being harassed in housing societies, if they get a flat at all, imagine if a salit moved in.
It rears it's ugly head when the bloodlines are involved for example marriages and like she mentioned surrogacy.
I definitely feel discriminated against and have experienced it by new Canadian Indian security guards and I’m not even indo Canadian at all. There’s a class, race, colourist and bias this whole worldview exudes. It’s palpable.
South Africa Apartheid....
From untouchables to unbeatables😂
They came a long way
Singh ? Rajputs? you guys sent lots of royal rajput women to mughals and our white British governors , the SDM spent 3 days with a rajputani I've heard there is a place in India called sonagachi where almost all prostitutes are rajput women . Show your attitude here in US before us and you'll become a part of Indian history.

Caste discrimination is illegal in India and carries severe penalties. She did not mention this.
and the conviction rate is almost zero 🤣🤣. Own your bad deed dude..and stop making fun of yourself sometime.
@@soni5887 I personally know about many convictions
I notice this kind of discrimination by some of the poor new comer Indian security people all around the city in pharmacies and all kinds of places. They don’t get enough equity and anti black racism training. They definitely have been known to profile and this is sad because they’re at the bottom of the barrel here. I believe many of these companies like rexall and shoppers drug mart need to give more anti racism and equity trainings to these indo Canadian new comer security guards.
It's better if you fire them, I have heard this before one of my friends had an Indian man as manager and he didn't promote my colleague who is super intelligent, I used to wonder why. Upon knowing him more he told he's from lower caste and manager is Brahman(which is the highest caste according to Hinduism), I complained the HR and explained everything and they fired the manager and prompted my colleague.
In rural societies of Indian, there is no need of any kind of menial work. Even still today. So why there be any untouchable caste ?
Neither ‘caste’ word is Indian nor ‘Zaat/Jaat’ . Zaat is Arabic word having sense of status. None of ancient Indian person have surname to identify caste. It’s Europian tradition. They have surname like Smith, Goldsmith, Gardner, shoemaker etc etc, indicating their ancestor’s work.
Every religion in South Asia have caste system, which was imposed on them by outsiders invaders.
Once the the legend dr . Ambedkar warned us centuries ago . World ignored him , when they know him well , they will undrstand what is actual evilness in the world , thats is caste .
Amazing !! ✊💙

I'm so confused as to why she is even doing this story. Lots of Indian people don't even like Black people. I think she should focus more on what African Americans are going through instead of discussing this topic. Especially during Black history month. This is ridiculous.
We need to speak about all forms of discrimination. You’re incorrect.
Absolutely 100 percent agree with you they are very much racist here in Canada .My goodness even in the play grounds with children.
@@beverleyreid7572it’s black history month and we should not be deflecting on black discrimination
She is Canadian black history is not in Canada. She is taking about her experience in her Indian community not African .

Everywhere Indians from India don't like black or African american people. They think they are superior to blacks. And don't talk for if they are light skinned, they definitely turn their noses up to black folks. They have their little India city in Houston.

some people give themselves a platinum victim card and make a career out of it

caste system was brought to India byvtge Brits if you dont agree then u can do the research yourself ...yes unfortunately it is deep rooted now but dont blame our ancestors for it instead blame the brits .. and yes we should be taking initiatives to remove it but west is no different there is inherent class system in the society which is also a big problem
That's some serious delulu
What class system does the West have that is akin to the Indian caste system?
Delusional child mind.
then why tf wasn't the caste system thrown out when the british left?!
3000 years the brits?
3:23 oh wow.

Hope they don’t start reservation in other countries too !
There is only 2 castes in India, rich and poor when it comes to marriage. Any higher caste will happily marry a lower caste for money. All other caste system are for getting political vote.
You think so? Just asking.
@@cliffm8112 I know it.
That upholds the cast. That just shows you that someone who is in a higher cast can get with someone else of a lower cast who is rich and Mary right into money. Who gets the better part of the deal? The upper cast person.
@@jashuasmith9361 maybe you're right but in ancient age their forefathers were consider as lower caste because they were bums, less intelligent people. If their decendents works hard and get rich, upper class people would respect them in this generation, isn't it great that they are getting respect based on their deeds and potential marriage consideration by upper class people?
@@codingiscreativity well what I know of cast from colonialism is that it doesn’t give credit. Where a lot of it was influenced everywhere. It steals it in everyway possible , while at the same time, taking your skill, imposing backbreaking labor, along with your resources of the land being swiped, along with all your crap, while simultaneously degrading you in every way possibly imagine. I would more be interested in a person who is at the bottom of someones cast figuring a way out from under it. I don’t buy that a person just tries hard & they make it. When you have people doing what they can to make sure that cast system stays in place. Having an upper mobility society by giving a lot of opportunity, makes no sense when you’re trying to upload a cast. And the recognition is about what they can get. A lot of times you have bums that don’t have anything but a social title, try to use that timer against others are more substantive, attractive and skilled, have PF by reject, to drag them down in order to make their mediocre delves feel big. I’d rather things be more transactional in a mutual beneficial way, through
Great. so our immigration policies have led to more discrimination.
How u r forced into this !! you can easily blame someone... Even if u don't have any merits. U r saying u heard about it from someone but don't have own experience.
I really did not like this episode as this is a misleading video, defaming India. India has now changed a lot. Lot better. Please come and stay in India, you would definitely feel the change😢
There is nothing wrong with speaking about the history of a country. All countries throughout world have faults and India is just one. This problem definitely exists in the school system. So I don't believe much of the mindset has changed if children today are involved in it. It's best to bring it to the open to help solve the problem.

Learn basics:
There is no caste system in Hinduism.
We have VARNA
Varna means occupation people doing-
-Soldiers of any caste called Kshatriya
-Teacher of any caste called brahmin
- Business man of any caste called Vaishya
-Other worker called Shudras
Just read bhagwat geeta
BG 18.41: The duties of the Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras-are distributed according to their qualities, in accordance with their guṇas (and not by birth).
Stop lying
Caste isn't even an Indian word so how is it an Indian caste system.
neither was wifi, computer, etc
In denial much?
@@lucycan6363Are you telling me India is the only society that had class discrimination? Read your own history maybe
Neither the ‘zaat’, it’s Arabic. Like badzaad. Zaat means status in Arabic.
4:04 God bless.wow.. smh.
Caste(word from Portuguese casta NOTE : India was invaded by them ) ??Pyramid?? 🤔As far as I have learn, it was part of "ONE BODY" and Bramin were put as head its because they used their intelligent (brain) to do their job more. For example just because you were born in a Doctors family does not make you a doctor, Krishna have clearly said this? I heard that in Hindu culture there are fours way in finding the truth so that's why Hindu parents DONT force as everyone is seen as a seeker.
The Four Way are :
🌹Karma Yoga (Doing action around the world like helping poor people)
🌹Bhakti Yoga (Through devotion to any divine you love)
🌹Jnana Yoga(Thought intelligent like the Atheist)
🌹Kriya yoga(Through Energy by doing Mediation, Yoga(unity))
Clearly showing the freedom you get when you are born in a Hindu culture.
This video is PURE LIE!!!! In Bharat(or India) we don't considers CASTE important anymore... well the system have been destorted and made rigid by the Britishers... which was previously extremely and based not upon your birth but, your work... the name of that system is... VARNA SYSTEM. This matter of CASTE SYSTEM is used by everyone who wants to harm Sanatan Dharma(famously known as Hinduism), Sanatanis(famously known as Hindus) and Bharat(famously known as India)... who don't want to see the culture spread and that civilization grow... as it got answers to all the flaws out there... and also the growth and strengthening of Bharat. I have many friends in USA and Canada... I have never seen them doing such things in the name of caste and Sanatan Dharma... how can it be, when its not a matter even in Bharat?
PEOPLE WATCHING THIS... AND THINKING THAT ITS TRUE... I REQUEST TO RESEARCH MORE ABOUT THIS CASTE MATTER... AND ALSO TO VISIT BHARAT TO CROSS CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE. I AM TELLING YOU ALL... ITS A SIMPLE AND TYPICAL ATTEMPT TO HARM SANATAN DHARMA AND THAT GREAT CIVILIZATION... AND NOTHING ELSE!!!
