Caste system and it’s cruelties.

The Caste system existed in the previous generation because back


then there were two groups of people. First one being the one’s who
make money because of their ancestral royalties or family wealth
and second one being the one’s who work for the people who make
money since they couldn’t earn money due to not having a wealthy
background. Slowly, that became a staple amongst the rich since
they wanted to stay rich and on top always. They started making
stories/tales which supported their selfish thoughts and since the
poor weren’t educated, they had to listen to the upper class since if
they didn’t, they wouldn’t have gotten their wages for the work they
did. It’s a shame to say that although there are highly educated
people holding high posts, they still support the cast system and if
they don’t support the caste system, they don’t do much
constructive contribution towards it anyway. I personally have never
faced anything crude related to my caste since my parents and
relatives are always low about it. When I ask them what caste I am (I
don’t care what caste I am honestly but since I have to have the
knowledge of my background and also because some school’s ask for
the caste etcetera, I have to ask them), they come close and whisper
it to my ear following it with this traditionally off-putting line “no one
should know about this”. Back then people weren’t educated about
humanity but it’s been 73 years since independence and educated
people still support this nonsence. I try my best to convince myself
that I don’t belong to any caste but schools and colleges still to this
date ask for my caste and other things related to it. If the place I’m
going to study is by itself supporting the root cause for poor cruelty
and education of the poor, how am I supposed to figure out who I
should be fighting for? I’m not saying I’m going through problems
because of my caste but even the thought of being questioned for
something that absolutely doesn’t make sense since NO-ONE can
completely back it up, just makes me question myself if anything will
ever change. People say “things change overtime”, but how long will
it really take if this topic was focused upon by the people who could
make a change and use their post for something useful? Instead of
making temples to say “god exists to help”, I’m sure if god really
existed, he would want nothing more than world peace and making
the world a better place starts from making constructive changes to
the present especially children and youth because they are the bright
future we need. Educating them not only with basic studies but also
with exposure to problems as such so that they know how to back
themselves up with a million more people who believe in equal
rights. I’d prefer teaching the children more about the present than
the past since what happened has happened and not everything that
happened before can change what’s happening now or the future.

I hope I’ve delivered my thoughts enough to say that the caste


system is absolutely meaningless and should be destroyed
completely as soon as it can because a lot of souls are being
destroyed and humiliated and a lot of dreams are being shattered
because of something that could’ve been changed a long time ago
but no one really cared.
