We will not move past the “caste system” (or any other system or “-ism”) till we face our fear of being expelled for non-conformity. This is the root of it every -ism, I believe.
This is difficult and will not happen in one or two generations. This cannot be regulated or incentivised into happening.
It will take much more introspection from each and every one of us. It requires each of us to awaken to the suffering we bring unto ourselves and unto those around us. Till that day comes, each system and -ism will continue to thrive.
I shared a personal experience on another HN thread of the same type. It might give some insight into this problem: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34876455 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34876455
Hating on a system of hate will not solve the issue. Becoming aware of the potential hate within each of us, accepting that the hate is a coping mechanism for fear, and then discarding it is the only way forward. It starts by looking within each of us, and then changing our own lives, and hoping that this sets an example for those around us, who can choose to follow and change, or may also choose to continue in their set ways.
