The Caste System
Posted on 9/19/20 at 10:34 pm

For some reason probably related to mostly peaceful protest videos I was thinking about the Indian caste system that I learned of in grade school.
I quickly got bored of reading about it.
One thing struck me though.
Everyone had a job. Even the untouchables.

No, you had a status not a job. This was always an issue in India and sort of still is. It is why you see so much begging in some places, since Dalits (untouchables) can't move into jobs, or the children of the rich will just live off of their parents.

I feel like that not everyone in India has a job

I bet they cleaned those latrines with honor. They were the best shite shovelers this world has ever seen

That sucks. I don't think we have any more call centers we can export there.

Yeah and there was no real moving up if you're born at the bottom you're fricked. It's also why you have older Indians treating low wage employees like trash

Some of the stores in India seem to have more employees then people. Like a small section of a department store will have 2-3 people helping there. I think the government mandates it but there’s still a ton of jobless people.

I’m Indian baw. Many treat the backwards caste as they’re called like trash. Many are abused.

isn't street sweep and latrine cleaner pretty interchangeable in India?

The Indian folks I know are all lovely people. If you ever get invited to an Indian wedding don't pass it up.

We went goose hunting out in far west Texas one time. The Indian people who owned the random motel we stopped at were cousins with the owners of the Best Western in our town.
Posted on 9/19/20 at 11:12 pm to Jim Rockford
Was their last name Patel?
Posted on 9/19/20 at 11:13 pm to wadewilson
Yep 
Posted on 9/19/20 at 11:15 pm to Jim Rockford
Yeah, that's a pretty common name among Best Western and Choice properties. I used to sell to a lot of them in my last job.
