I’m American and when she spoke of domestic workers using separate plates & cups and using different doors/entrances; how could I NOT immediately think of Jim Crow???? Only that was 75 YEARS AGO for us! We are ALL human beings here and it’s 2024, for Chrissakes!!!!😢
In India, discrimination began about 1500 B.C.E, grew and continues with a LIE that one of 3 Big Gods instituted it as a system forever and even HE cannot change it, therefore should not be abolished. Education, human rights, wages, access to resources and even voices are denied to majority Indians due to discrimination
Glad to find this talk about the cast system. Imagine all the talent that India as a society has missed out on. And the fact that the cast system is also reflected by skin tone means we could call it out as colourism at best, racism in reality.
Dalits do not belong to Hindu religion. Then why Dalits still follow Hindu practices and Hindu Gods. If we want to be free from casteism, we must have the sense to understand ourselves that we are not Hindus. Therefore, they should always understand that they are not people who should join other religions. Actually Dalits need to become rationalists.
Yes, What you said is correct sometimes I hear words like 'Are you a Hindu'. When I was a kid I didn't understand about what is their feeling about caste and hindu. Later I understand that Dalits are not Hindus and people who are Dalits, rich upper caste people never consider Dalits as Hindus. Dalit women never wear mangalastura and hindu's never consider Dalits as Hindus. I felt really bad about this Hindus upper caste people.
Instead of getting schedule caste certificate for benefits it may be better to get 'no religion, no caste certificate' (casteless) as some woman in India received recently.

All lower caste people should convert to Buddhism or Christianity. When Brahman religion will be minority in india only then they will understand. Jai Bhim
No offense but she should have prepared well for this topic caste is a very complex topic she has say lot of misinformation in this video. I was expecting much more as it is a ted x video but the speaker has not well studied the subject.
Keep your victim blaming mindset to yourself. All lower caste people should convert to Buddhism or Christianity. When Brahman religion will be minority in india only then they will understand. Jai Bhim
RSS and bjp wants affirm caste system in India, and they are encouraging the people whoever doing atrocities against dalits, RSS is encouraging caste system
Very poor knowledge to speak about modern caste system. A normal degree student can adress these issues. When you got an opportunity to speak on the platforms like TED you should prepare yourself and present the things perfectly. Your speaking on India's biggest threat or issue. But Your wondering and searching words and stories to speak in front of people. how could you utilize platform.? Very poor speech.
@@anadianBaconator iam not discouraging her knowledge. When she was representing a national threat in indian society she could have prepared well. I think u need to study ambedkar first to understand what she said on that platform. Today the situation is beyond your imagination Mr bobby
I have heard thousands of speeches and hundreds of ted talk and almost every great talk had a story or used storytelling to speak. I heard a quote never tell a story with out making a point and never make a point with out telling a story. It's easy to criticize when you have a lack of experience. Jai bhim

I wish we all could stand against it together
It's even worse and you can't even think about it .

We need that kind of talks..
Thankyou mam for your appreciable efforts to bring this serious issue at concern👌☮️✨
Thank you for bringing forth this extremely important topic

Caste has nothing to do with racism what we have a certain stereotypes about color of skin which is problematic.
little known fact: it was created by the colonial brits. Latin America has a "casta" system. And caste is actually a portuguese word.
Definitely skin colour based racism is pretty bad in India too but caste system is on a whole different level.
@@darkprince2490 no it was before Mughal era too so how can you say Brits brought that?
@@darkprince2490 let's talk about जात then, what you gonna say?
To understand this speech (thesis) we must have pure humain brain. Respect and admire

Ofcourse it still prevalent, if not surname then come the question veg or non-veg 😂
Modernized
How many of you know the state of TN socially abolished caste based surname..
Land of Periyar and Anna, self respect movement
Didn't know that but a very good move!
I am from TN even though it isn’t evident by name, there are other ways to find someone’s caste through word of mouth etc.
