Re: Young indians and sprituality
No Indopak. Not talking about it enough is what had prolonged the bad side of casteism in many parts of India and amongst many Indians.That silence is also what has allowed certain vultures to prey upon naive people into conversion etc.
Why should it make one queasy? It was there, it led to some bad things and it is getting better now.
Every society and type of community - whether professional groups, ethnic groups, religious groups, affluence groups - had and have castes. Wherevere there is stratification, classification there is caste. It is caste based discrimination that is wrong, not castes themselves.
