This is the wonderful Hindu society that we are giving our jobs to --
http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0306/feature1/index.html To be born a Hindu in India is to enter the caste system, one of the world's longest surviving forms of social stratification. Embedded in Indian culture for the past 1,500 years, the caste system follows a basic precept: All men are created unequal. The ranks in Hindu society come from a legend in which the main groupings, or varnas, emerge from a primordial being. From the mouth come the Brahmans—the priests and teachers. From the arms come the Kshatriyas—the rulers and soldiers. From the thighs come the Vaisyas—merchants and traders. From the feet come the Sudras—laborers. Each varna in turn contains hundreds of hereditary castes and subcastes with their own pecking orders.
A fifth group describes the people who are achuta, or untouchable. The primordial being does not claim them. Untouchables are outcasts—people considered too impure, too polluted, to rank as worthy beings. Prejudice defines their lives, particularly in the rural areas, where nearly three-quarters of India's people live. Untouchables are shunned, insulted, banned from temples and higher caste homes, made to eat and drink from separate utensils in public places, and, in extreme but not uncommon cases, are raped, burned, lynched, and gunned down.
Dude, I've been to India over 30 times, maybe in some a$$ backwards parts its like this, but seriousley, your whole post is living in the past. These techies hardly care or follow the caste system, I've never met a hindu who really cared for it one way or another, your more likely to see that kind of discrimination here in the US, then you are over there.
Also, to note, most of the untouchables have either converted to another religion, or simply wound up lying about there caste long long ago to the point no one really knows whos what anymore. If you can find somone who claims to be from the untouchable caste, good luck and more power to you.
