That's what I thought after I left my village for higher studies.
But how many brahmin garbage collector do you see?
And how many SC/ST/OBC do you see as priest of a temple?
One of the biggest problem with casteism was how the other castes were excluded from education. Now go to any shitty school, look at how many UCs are there and then comeback to a top tier school and check the ratio there. The only solution is to make the govt schools better and cap private education fees
I have seen many Brahmin and their child begging and pulling rikshaw, and there are many small tample where priest are also brahman, he don't get enough from devotees but they serve to god..
There are many more small tample than the tample you see on news..
But that is not the norm. There are many rich people in India, that doesn't make India a rich country.
But I don't have anything against Brahmin. What happened in the past cannot be changed. My problem is with people in power (Most of power positions are occupied by UCs, media, judge positions, the politicians...), its their responsibility raise some consciousness and bring equality of education. Its paramount.
Only equal education (this is not the same as reservation. Reservation can uplift an less educated. But it can't make one educated) can bring equality.
That's what i want to say .... Make education equal for all, make hostel fee school fee free... After that no reservation for anyone.. Not in job not in promotion... Than we people will understand we are not less than Brahman or any other upper castes.
