Anything that Kills Caste System in India is a welcome change. Education has not killed Caste System. In fact it actually added additional Friction with Collages famously organizing as Caste based groups. Someone asked how this matters to US? You will see people behaving like this on American Streets When this caste mania spreads to US: https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9/11141248_10153352338753179_4163475777876299380_n.jpg?oh=734a945845c5ed6e822d98bdd5d673ad&oe=56776D68 https://scontent.fsnc1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xtp1/v/t1.0-9... That is a picture of Rally conducted by Caste Fanatics in support of a Leaders Son visiting US.

Based on your writing style, you appear to be Indian yourself. I'd like to hear from an American, why this matters to people unrelated to India.

Translated into American, parent is complaining that gays and blacks get preferential treatment by having their own student groups. Then he insinuates that "those people" behave as if they just came from the jungle.

  You are being harsh on the parent. The photo clearly shows the guys doing very unsafe things on American streets. I am actually surprised that police didn't give a ticket. It had made enough news in Indian circles during apri-may 2015 timeframe I don't know why you do not think that photo represents an insinuation and not a truth. And these guys are not under represented minorities like Blacks or Gays. They come from one of the richest and politically well represented castes.

    Translated into American, when good-old-boys (or high caste people) do this at a sportsball game (or wedding) in the US, they're just having a good time. When "those people" do this in what's clearly a parking lot, they should be arrested by the police.

      The People in Picture are representing an Upper Caste. You definitely made a wrong assumption.

        That has no effect on the validity of his argument. Either ethnic pride and celebration is ok or it isn't, unless there's some principle one can stand behind to distinguish between which ethnic groups can legitimately express pride and community and which can't.
