My Opinion on the Terrible Caste System

| 1 Comment

The caste system is a way to divide the people of India into groups. The lowest form of the caste system is the dalits which are also called the untouchables. In my opinion the caste system is a bad way to show who they think people are, I think that because even if someone is poor they still get to be treated nicely. I believe that everyone in India should be treated the same way. Even if everyone is different they should all still get proper education. I wonder if everyone in the upper caste takes the opportunity to get a good job? And if you don’t then are you considered in a lower caste?  I get that dalits have lives that are not as good as upper caste people but do they get used to it? If people from upper caste see that someone is really smart but they are a dalit can they move them to upper caste? Because of all of these reasons, I think the caste system is a very bad system.

  1. Wow, Harper. You really thought this through! I like how honest you are about your opinions and that you took the time to think of the caste system from many different angles. I am guessing you might learn about Gandhi soon—did you know there is a statue of him by the Milwaukee County Courthouse?!
