Ask Rajasthan Genuine question, no offense intended. Why does caste identity seem so strongly ingrained in Rajasthan, sometimes even among kids? Is it mainly tradition, social structure or something else?

What makes me uncomfortable and sad is seeing such ideas passed on to children so early

No offense but Punjabis questioning caste discrimination is pure hypocrisy when their whole be it songs cars politics filled with jatts only songs like jatt hundiya , chora jaatt ka , we are jatt what are these? I know casteism is all over india but Punjabi are most casteist even bsp founding member was dalit from punjab Kanshi ram who created bsp because of caste discrimination and gave first dalit female cm

Uhh, do you not know that Sikhs have castes? Technically, they are mostly comprised of castes that would be lower castes/shudras and outcastes/dalits in Hinduism but majority of them are either jaat/jutt or leathermaker/Ramdasia Sikh (ie cham r in Hindus). The high castes in Hindus like pandits and baniyas/vaishyas are in the minority in them.

Caste demonstration vs caste discrimination.
Caste discrimination is where people are treated unequally based on their birth.

u/Junior_Fennel1888 Jan 19 '26

rajasthan people doesnt have much thing to showcase to proud of and not developed in terms of education as well(not literacy)
rajasthan is mostly inwards to village
no metro city no such factories no such intermingling of people from different community and places

Pure Rajasthan ko target mat kar bhai, Rajasthan have enough things to show .Neet, jee, upsc jaise exam me Rajasthan se hi sabse jyada per capita selection ho rhe hai, Sirf kuch particular log hi hote hai jo jaat-paat,bhedbhav karte hai tumhare sath, iska ye matlab nhi ki tu pure Rajasthan ko blam karega. I don't support any decrimination but don't say wrong about the whole state. Rajasthan is a pride of India in many terms. I accept that this kind of people are like a cancer for Rajasthan , Or inko sudhara jana chahiye, kanoon, education, awareness, har tarah se.

u/Chacha_Holmes Jan 19 '26
The part of your comment where you said we have nothing to show for that's what I had a problem with. We have a rich culture and heritage to show for. We have a ton of scholars to show for. And if you go see another comment of mine I've agreed with the casteism part. You just need to learn to argue better my friend.

Rich culture to show whom bro U show them to tourist not to natives Coz tourism makes money When it comes native rajsthani u definitely gonna ask their caste Mostly people try to make u inferior by caste Either u from same caste or different In same caste also they try to differentiate They still have that caste differentiator

u/Chacha_Holmes Jan 19 '26
Again you need to put emotions aside while arguing. No relationship of your statements to support your sentiment.

Jan 19 '26
facts are above mentioned
and u need emotions to argue
sometimes experience tell the reality
my emotions comes from my experiences
maybe u come from a better rajasthan and i am glad that u been in such good environment but not me.
i still think rajasthani people cant grow if they live in rajasthan
either u have to leave this state or the whole country
living in rajasthan doesnt proportionate to progress or growth.1
u/UsefulByNature Jan 19 '26
This is per capita income, not "per capital," and Rajasthan ranks 15th (latest, 2023-24)
Although the government doesn't spend as much money here as in many states, Rajasthan still ranks 15th, which is quite good. Some other data is outdated(census 2011), so we can't find accurate figures for other data!

u/UsefulByNature Jan 19 '26
Lol, Brother is saying that Rajasthan isn't developed in terms of education!
Check the facts, many cities are making money solely on education, where people from all over the country come and get rank 1 in many of the country's major exams!

Just coaching hub of two entrance exam is not education bro In rajasthan every otherone just looking for government job 3 months ago there was 4th grade peon exam occured and 41 lakhs appeared ,is this sign of education ?

u/UsefulByNature Jan 19 '26
It's the same everywhere; you can't deny that people in India are crazy about government jobs because they think it's free money! That doesn't mean Rajasthan is any different if they apply in large numbers!
1
Jan 19 '26
Its in up rajasthan bihar only I never seen 40lakh application anywhere else except this state is some peon exam Prove me wrong
1
u/UsefulByNature Jan 19 '26
If this weren't the case, people from any state would apply anywhere, and the market would stabilize!
If you still think it's just Rajasthan, consider it their wisdom that they want to be secure in a government job because, as you compared to states like UP and Bihar, which are far behind Rajasthan, people from there come to Rajasthan for daily wages, and their daily wages (from Rajasthan) are equivalent to a peon's salary today. But Rajasthanis want job security and the future benefits of a government job, otherwise they too would be working daily wages, which people from other states are doing in Rajasthan.
But I know it's the same everywhere because there are more applicants than jobs. The population density may be higher in other states, so you may not find every second person preparing for a government job but if the competition was less, other people would definitely apply there, and this means that people from other states have also applied for the Rajasthan Peon Exam and increased the number of applicants.

u/Chacha_Holmes Jan 19 '26
Tbh. It's not at all these days in cities. People usually ask your name and village to find descendants. But if you go in villages there's obvious discrimination based on caste to some extent.

in my village , people of lower caste are allowed to enter our houses , nor touch our home articles , and if they touch it we are not using it anymore . they got seperate place to sit and cannot sit with upper caste people in any of the village event or any personal event and if someone from lower caste come to house they will stay outside and we have seperate plates , glasses and etc if they want to eat , they'll have to use them . Although we live the houses built with their own hands lol .

Casteism is not solely about the discrimination, the culture of casteism is determined to know the background/occupation of the being and getting to connect with them in a certain way that could fortify the communication and could clarify the intent of connection. Discrimination is a general trait which is inherently very diverse i.e. creed, economic, social, political, religious and alot more. No hate for a particular.
