- nnain 2y agoUnfortunately, India's poorest still don't get govt benefits due for them: A few gobble up all the caste-based reservation from the govt. I have seen many people who have made a career out of talking about caste all the time. I know more than 3 people in the US, who talk about caste all the time (as in that's their job now) but grew up in very privileged families.
