Why can't we cast the caste system out? It is high time we did!


I am really upset with my lot!

Every single day, there is something being done to a Dalit or a woman or another being that can be exploited.

Why are we continually sliding back?

And what does caste mean, anyway, in today's times? I am a Kshatriya and my husband the highest level (uchch koti) of Brahmin. Does that even mean anything now? Back then, it defined people's professions and from that drew out the offshoots of their planks on the societal ladder!

But now?

And still, we continue to carry on with our hatefully abominable acts!

How will we explain our actions to the next generation? To the world that may be watching us? Heck, how do we address our Karma?

And when does the reprehensibility stop?
