What’s funny is that you can change your religion. But you still can’t change your caste! It’s even more interesting how norms and customs predate even caste.

What’s funny is that you can change your religion. But you still can’t change your caste! It’s even more interesting how norms and customs predate even caste. For instance, missionaries came to India and offered a better status within Christianity to Hindus from lower caste. This led to some caste based discrimination against Indian Christians. Now, Pakistan as a country doesn’t really have caste system being a Muslim country. But there are restaurants in Pakistan where Christians are still not allowed to eat in the same plate regular customers eat!
