I’ve never declined to dine or drink with anyone of whatever caste. Most people I’ve seen in cities across India don’t care. Basically Caste in India is as much of a problem as racism is in the US.
- nindalf 5y agoAh yes of course, you’ve never been casteist, so it’s not a problem in India. Please watch these two videos and let me know if you still think so. - Caste Conundrum: Why do upper castes believe discrimination doesn’t exist? - https://youtu.be/vjt8aBoejho https://youtu.be/vjt8aBoejho (1.4M views). - What Hathras tells us about Casteism in India - https://youtu.be/ELbdGh0-4T4 https://youtu.be/ELbdGh0-4T4.

- fellellor 5y agoI didn’t say it’s not a problem in India. I clearly didn’t say that.
- nindalf 5y ago> Basically Caste in India is as much of a problem as racism is in the US. Is it common in the US for people to refuse to come into contact with people of other races? To bar them from places of worship? To not even touch water they might have touched? What you did was just whataboutism. It’s the “yeah it’s bad, but no worse than any other place”. But even if we allow this deflection, it’s not true.
