It's just nature. Survival of the toughest, smartest, strongest, richest, fittest. Animals all do this, too. Look at lions. They oppress females, kill their babies just to mate with lionesses, who expect good sex every 20 minutes and the males expect them to do all the hunting work to feed the pride, as well as raise the cubs. And then the young teenage male dudes decide they want sex partners and simply kill some old male pride leader, kill all the lionesses' cubs and have a good age old male sexual orgy. While the poor old man lion just has 6o wander off alone, probably suffering dementia of all the rotten masculine power abuses he perpetrated in his hey day. And just gets preyed upon himself and eaten, even if his hide is pretty tough and sinewy. But, as humans, we could seek to rise above our animal barbarity, without denying we are still a part of the animal order. We are a bit more evolved, I hope... But sometimes wonder...

It's really interesting how the arguments made against caste reservations are exactly the same as the ones people make against affirmative action here in the US. Discrimination really does only come in one flavor.

[@prasvasu4217]

Affirmative action can be done on an individual case by case basis if required. Let's assume US has a black quota as part of its new DEI push in a corporation. Does Micheal Jordan's son or the Obamas deserve entry through it? Or can I claim that based on the color of my skin, I should enter a basketball team cause of under-representation? In my home state in India, 90% seats are through reservations. Each politician promising affirmative action to a caste-based vote bank; this has led to a race to the bottom. And another thing is with documentaries like this, there is always a risk of sampling bias; and painting everything with a very broad brush. More so, in a population of 1.2 Billion and some of the most diverse in the world. Can you stereotype every white person as a Jim Crow style segregationist or redneck racist?

Many similar things happened . If this thing weren't the case , than nobody cares . As majority of po population of india is under reservation , OBC alone account for more than 50 % of India's population . So it's not about Upper caste & Lower caste but it's about inequality & power . In India there where no proper action taken by government , like China does against their private landlord . In india this Zamindar doesn't get taxed , as they are classified as Farmer . In india there is no legal definition of farmer , it can be Person who own's farming land , and person who works in farm . In Short , Upper caste people have fear of being treated as minority , so they will try their best to corrupt & manipulate the System of india . By the way , I'm from OBC ( Lower caste) .

This is crazy eye opening stuff I had no idea

[@QUINSYlarynx]

I have a lot to say! First off, the Brits didn't rigidify the caste system. It has always been rigid with no mobility. It's based on Manu's laws. The Brits only abided by it because it's deeply entrenched. Those who say "it's only a rural thing" or "young generation doesn't care" are either ignorant or trying to cloak it. The young generation may not mind socializing but they will rarely downgrade in matrimony. Casteism in urban India is brilliantly cloaked. Check out top honchos in private and public enterprises; check out white collar positions and it's hard to find a lower caste person. While the lower castes are lucky that they get to eat meat, the history behind this is rather dark. Back in Vedic times, animal sacrifices were common and the lower castes were called upon to clean up. They would use the carcass as food. Also, in the Vedic times, every caste would eat meat including the priestly and warrior castes. In fact, the vedas talk about offering beef to a Hindu priest. However, with the introduction of Jainism the Hindus had to do something to curb this fast spreading religion with it's non-violent ethos. That's when they switched to vegetarianism. The biggest insult was when the lady positioned Gandhi as some sort of savior of the lower castes. He was one of the biggest casteists of his day, who went on an indefinite fast to protest the granting of a separate electorate to lower castes/Dalits. Mind you, he was fine with other communities getting separate electorates. "Harijan" is just his red herring to hide his casteism. I am also shocked that as the narrator and the lady (interviewed) spoke of Constitution, the didn't mention Dr. Ambedkar, the chief architect, the first law minister of India, and a Dalit who championed human rights and labor code in India and fought for decades to get equal rights for Dalits. Indians have literally written Ambedkar's name and work out of the history.

Few Indians seem to understand the true meaning of Reservation - it is for REPRESENTATION. Economic class is a completely different matter. Reservations on the basis of caste are for covering the lack of presence of lower castes and Dalits in positions of power.

Only Top 1 percent of those 220 million forward caste are rich & aristocratic the remaining forward caste is struggling in local buses & local trains, doing menial jobs, working as underpaid slaves of Multinational corporates, etc. The biggest irony is that the person who introduced the reservation system for SC / ST strictly warned the Constituent Assembly that this reservation system is temporary and should not extend for more 10-20 years maximum otherwise it would become a mere shortcut and appeasement tool for rich politicians who are already sitting in power.
