Discuss the caste system in terms of it's justification by the Brahmins and the impact on the Dalits.
The Caste system would never be accepted in America, as it is in India. In India they have a Caste system, there are seperate groups that have higher statuses. The lowest status is the Dalits, otherwise known as The Untouchables.
The Untouchables are given the "Crap" jobs, literally. People are afraid to go near a person with the status "Dalit" because they are afraid that they will become "polluted". Friends turn on friends because they find out the status, teachers only teach the upper castes or will make the "Dalits" sit in the back of the class. Most people don't question it because that's how "it has always been."
The Brahmins justify the caste system by saying that is it how it's been and how it needs to be. They say that the Dalits have no right to do what the upper caste's do. "Do I have right to fly a plane? No, because I am not a pilot." Then he went on to say the Dalits have no right to do upper jobs or get an education. A different man said that they needed the castes because they worked and it is how India was successful and how India survived.
I, as an American High schooler who knows basically nothing of other countries politics, do not think that Castes are right as it is discriminating and unfair.
