My opinion on the Caste System

| 2 Comments

My opinion is that they should never use the caste system because it is so unfair. The caste system is what level you are at in life. Let’s say I am Brahman and I do everything good. Then I’m in the highest caste and all my kids get to be in the Brahman caste. Now let’s say I do everything wrong. Then I’m an Untouchable and all my kids will be as low as me.  The lowest class is really bad because you don’t even get to go to school and school is so much fun. If I was a dalit in India and I wanted to be a docter I wouldn’t get to because of what caste I’m in. I have a question for you: would you rather have a docter who is actually a good doctor or would you have a doctor that gets to be a doctor because they’re more powerful. I would rather have a doctor that is a better doctor. I think that the dalit kids and all the dalits should at least get to live in the towns instead of the dump. They don’t actually live in the dump but that is probably what it feels like. I don’t get why they used to have a broom behind him wherever they walked because the higher caste people did not want to touch their footprints because they thought it was like a disease. Guess what they are people also and they have no disease. The caste system is sort of like how whites treated African Americans in the Civil Rights Movement.

I hope you help make the change because anyone can.

  1. Hallie Nelles! This is such a great blog post. I am so proud of you and I know you believe in equality and treating everyone the same. Of course I would want the better doctor! And everyone should have the opportunity to achieve what they want in life.
