Lisa Shea Forums General Discussion Life, The Universe, and Everything Caste System

There has been a lot of mention in the media recently about alleged racial bullying of an Indian actress on the 'Celebrity Big Brother' programme.

This has led to people questioning prejudice, similar to racism, which goes on in India as a result of the caste system.

I thought that it might be interesting for us to discuss this matter.

yeah india has the caste system, but show me a single country that does not have a two tier political financial and legal system that defines your opportunities according to your wealth. so its not really fair to criticise india for having defined forms of class. at least its in the open. here they tell you everybody is equal until they get to the question of how much cash is in your pocket.

I agree with janimal. Every country, even the united states, has some form of a "social ladder." It is very rare that an intellient homeless man will become a politician. That is, unless he suddenly makes money. India only chooses to define that system, while we mask ours.

But there is at least a ladder to climb ~ supposedly anyway.

supposedly, but its a big climb from earning 20 grand a year and having the millions to buy your way around anything.
