ludobabu Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 6 hours ago, TOM_BHAYYA said: Second page ki pothe ekkuva WHAT’S THE CASTE SYSTEM? Broadly speaking, a caste system is a process of placing people in occupational groups. It has pervaded several aspects of Indian society for centuries. Rooted in religion and based on a division of labor, the caste system, among other things, dictates the type of occupations a person can pursue and the social interactions that she may have. Castes are an aspect of Hindu religion. Other religions in India do not follow this system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludobabu Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 6 hours ago, TOM_BHAYYA said: Second page ki pothe ekkuva Castes are ranked in hierarchical order (originally, the system wasn’t to have a hierarchy based on occupation or birth but purely on personality; this has been skewed somehow over time), which determines the behavior of one member of society over another. Even in a modern business setting, where caste isn’t openly acknowledged, there may be subtle observances of village or family-style ranking. For instance, a young official may address a senior person, not necessarily his superior, as chachaji, a respectful term for a paternal uncle.

ludobabu Posted June 13, 2017 Report Share Posted June 13, 2017 6 hours ago, TOM_BHAYYA said: Second page ki pothe ekkuva Mahatma Gandhi, the father of modern India, made the lower castes and untouchables a fifth, lowly class with the name Harijan, or “children of God.” You see many references to SC and ST in India, in newspapers, government notifications, and so on. These initials refer to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes — scheduled is what Harijan is translated into today. The government is sensitive about reserving seats in colleges and job opportunities for them. But the government has legislation to make up for the past suppression and oppression of the lower castes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In urban India, though, people of all castes meet socially or for business. Discriminating against anyone because of their caste for things like club memberships and so on is against the law.
