My wife and I were just discussing the caste system the other day... Yeah... the ignorance has to go... We are unfortunate to have a lot of the upper caste people here- the Indians who can afford to come to Canada. They see everyone else around them as low caste...

I think they are. There are a lot of Indians at this one company my husband used to work at. Even though the higher caste ones know damn well we don't put up with that sort of thing in the workplace, they take advantage of the low caste Indians they work with as though they're still in India. The CEO decided to make it a fire-able offense, so now all the caste bullying goes on off site in their private time. Unfortunately, there's not much the company can do about that.
I am part of the cow, the urine is also from me.. actually I'd rather just pee all over a cow and laugh, can they do that instead?
If they're still doing in Western countries, then education isn't going to change much. Its up to the Dalits to resist exploitation now. Unfortunately even the Dalits who make it exploit the poorer Dalits. *sigh*
Cows are not just revered in India, they are considered sacred in some parts. Sounds like a conflict of religious/cultural beliefs from the past to the present.
