[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you see some things in America as similar to the caste system in India? [/quote] Absolutely. Racism here and societal/government "oppression" of indigent people. In India, everyone is a varying shade of brown. Had to come up with a different way to segregate. Initially the caste system was to bring order to society. Everyone had a job and you were born into it so to quell any rebellion. But then as with all power systems, the most powerful got greedy and used the system to benefit themselves the most and oppress the unfortunate. I think the caste system had it's role and place in ancient India. But education and opportunity have leveled the playing field significantly. However, part of the problem is there is a great wealth disparity in India. And this continues to be a way to segregate. [/quote]
