How casteism operates in Modern India | Beena Pallical | TEDxSurat

[@christinafidance340]

I’m American and when she spoke of domestic workers using separate plates & cups and using different doors/entrances; how could I NOT immediately think of Jim Crow???? Only that was 75 YEARS AGO for us! We are ALL human beings here and it’s 2024, for Chrissakes!!!!😢

[@shilpamankar1717]

It's all the same.opression is same everywhere dear

[@shilpamankar1717]

I wish we all could stand against it together

[@NN94887]

It's even worse and you can't even think about it .

[@ASK1870]

In India, discrimination began about 1500 B.C.E, grew and continues with a LIE that one of 3 Big Gods instituted it as a system forever and even HE cannot change it, therefore should not be abolished. Education, human rights, wages, access to resources and even voices are denied to majority Indians due to discrimination

[@VijayKumar-tm6lj]

We need that kind of talks..

[@ishanvidyarthi7340]

Thankyou mam for your appreciable efforts to bring this serious issue at concern👌☮️✨

Thank you for bringing forth this extremely important topic

Glad to find this talk about the cast system. Imagine all the talent that India as a society has missed out on. And the fact that the cast system is also reflected by skin tone means we could call it out as colourism at best, racism in reality.

[@punyashloka4946]

Caste has nothing to do with racism what we have a certain stereotypes about color of skin which is problematic.

[@darkprince2490]

little known fact: it was created by the colonial brits. Latin America has a "casta" system. And caste is actually a portuguese word.

[@priyadarshichaudhary7905]

Definitely skin colour based racism is pretty bad in India too but caste system is on a whole different level.

Dalits do not belong to Hindu religion. Then why Dalits still follow Hindu practices and Hindu Gods. If we want to be free from casteism, we must have the sense to understand ourselves that we are not Hindus. Therefore, they should always understand that they are not people who should join other religions. Actually Dalits need to become rationalists.

[@nitheeshbatta2780]

Yes, What you said is correct sometimes I hear words like 'Are you a Hindu'. When I was a kid I didn't understand about what is their feeling about caste and hindu. Later I understand that Dalits are not Hindus and people who are Dalits, rich upper caste people never consider Dalits as Hindus. Dalit women never wear mangalastura and hindu's never consider Dalits as Hindus. I felt really bad about this Hindus upper caste people.

Instead of getting schedule caste certificate for benefits it may be better to get 'no religion, no caste certificate' (casteless) as some woman in India received recently.

Than you need take the Casteless certificate to encourage us.

@@miltonmani7644 Modern caste system attached to surnames was only introduced as part of a colonial “divide and rule” policy theme in the first census 1871-72, as a pilot project in the Bengal Presidency, then rolled out to the other presidencies.

Very poor knowledge to speak about modern caste system. A normal degree student can adress these issues. When you got an opportunity to speak on the platforms like TED you should prepare yourself and present the things perfectly. Your speaking on India's biggest threat or issue. But Your wondering and searching words and stories to speak in front of people. how could you utilize platform.? Very poor speech.

[@anadianBaconator]

Can you tell me why she has poor knowledge? What did she say wrong?

I have heard thousands of speeches and hundreds of ted talk and almost every great talk had a story or used storytelling to speak.
