People migrate to new countries and takes their narrow minds thinking with them very sad!
Yes they do. They hang up over color. Terrible.
YOU ARE BLAMING THE VICTIM.
100%
True
This is so true , I live in Brampton Indian decent of Caribbean origin. They will not even speak or look at you because you're different but will suck up to the other color..
eye opening, can do more segments like this on different cultures
You took the words right out of my mouth
That is not how the caste system works in South Asia. There is caste in south asia (india, sri lanka, pakistan, nepal, Bangladesh) , Europe, Africa (west, central and horn), Asia and America. Its not based on the colour of the skin. Caste is tribe, community and clan. Colorism came into place when colonization occured. The whole idea fair skin is superior. Thats how colonization corrupted mostly indians mindet.
An average south asian range from fair skin to dark skin. There is upper caste south asian who are dark as an African and fair skinned like a european. At the same time, there are untouchables who fair skin with european features and dark skin with african features. In south asia, there is upper caste who darker than an average black/african person.
In India, there are 3500 caste/tribe. There is a caste for gangs, thieves, prostitution, and witchcraft.These caste are considered dalits/ untouchable. Caste existed before colonization. In India, the British divided them into forward (upper caste) , backward (dalit), scheduled castes (dalits) etc.
I read about the Untouchables. Really sad how we as humans treat each other. The ignorance is astounding.
To be honest many untouchables themselves practice untouchability among their fellow caste.
If untouchability exists among untouchables itself they have no right to complain and play victim card.
@Sahilrao-123 You are the lier here.Balmikis and pasis are in constant war in each other.Madiga and mala caste fight each other.Pallars being dalit practice untouchability against Parayas .Kheteek being dalit see dholi and bhaga as unclean.
You are dalit that is why you are hiding this to play victim card.
If you want equality why are you taking reservations which is based on inequality.
@Sahilrao-123 Dalits themselves do caste discrimination among themselves.
If casteism cannot be eliminated among Dalits itself it is the problem of Dalits,the dalit groups itself.
@Sahilrao-123 By that logic if upper caste people deny casteism will you accept that?
Ground reality of casteim is not just gm, obc vs Dalits it is even dalits vs Dalits which has been hidden from the majority of people by Dalit people like you to play victim card.
@Sahilrao-123 You dalit people even after converting to Christianity and Buddhism also call yourself as dalit only and here you are asking about Hinduism.What hypocrat you dumb Dalits are.
The problem is with you dalit,dalit groups and political parties which campaign for your cause.
This was a brilliant interview, show casing something that is often considered taboo to even talk about. My Family lived in the Middle East for a long time, and when I was in high school, returned to South India where my parents were from. The first day of school, a lady from the office came and called out my name. She was holding a register, and asked what caste I was, as my parents didn't fill it in the form. I said, 'I don't know my caste'. Almost 35 years later, I can still hear the loud gasp that came from my classmates....in shock that I didn't know what my caste was. Till then, it didn't matter and my parents didn't feel the need to tell me about that. The lady holding the register looked at me in shock. She said, 'You don't know what caste you are? Go home and ask your Father!' LOL now....but at the time, I was made to feel so bad. When it comes time for marriage, is when the caste system is mentioned the most. I also have to add, that we are Christians. So it doesn't matter what religion you are in India, the original caste that your ancestors were, carries on with you generations later. So happy to see this segment.
And who is responsible for it carrying through even in Christanity or Islam in India. It's a societal issue and not religional. Secondly no scripture ot ancient text ever said birth based caste system. Society just fell off over time and now Hinduism is made to carry the burden of this crap.
It is the people for sure. Even the quota for seats for medical admissions etc is wrong. It should be based on education and help the poor to get educated in the schooling system to be on par for the exams. On another point, people can be educated, but still go back to these practices when facing society for issues like marriage. Will be great when all of this is behind us. Newspapers and Matrimonial sites should also ban the practice of asking people what caste they are. Schools should not ask either.

She asked u coz dalits gets reservation and fee consesion and many other facilities based on castes.
In every Government form you fill up in India Caste is always asked cuz you get concessions in Cutoff's and even at a monetary level based on reservation policy.
@@vyomchauhan2931 no concessions were given for anyone. It was just for data and the forms they used were so old, no one changed them to not include caste. This was in the 1980's. Don't know if it changed now.
So glad you spoke out!
I watched the series called Daughers of Destiny which was such an eye opener as I am not Indian. What a fantastic series. Good luck with your endeavors, courageous lady.
This is propaganda lady. You need to learn and find out the truth. These are separatists being fueled by your Mr Trudeau
I’ve had Indian friends growing up tell their parents hate me because of their ways back home also on the TTC a lot of East Asians have the odd idea to invade my space and even tell me a black Canadian man that although I’m already sitting down on the train, I need to immediately get up and give my seat over to them ( usually Indian people that seem to be newcomers). One fellow man even tried to berate me because I should know to give up my seat. I told him “ this is Canada, don’t bring that caste system bs over here, assuming because I’m black I’m supposed to make way for you is comedy at best buddy”.
If I was born with my brown skin in India I would be considered untouchable, would have no rights snd would permanently be stuck under everyone else in perpetuity.
What????
Not surprised.
I am Indian, this behaviour is shameful...m glad you didnt take that lying down...what an A-Hole
Not sure it's the caste system that you experienced on your train journey so much as self entitlement of India's modern urban population which apart from the rote education they learn in schools are not really taught basic social skills, respect for others and personal space as well as grooming. I'm an Indian American who experienced similar though not exactly the same issues as you did with a roommate who grew up in India.
That is not how the caste system works in South Asia. There is caste in south asia, europe, africa, asia and america. Its not based on the colour of the skin. Caste is tribe, community and clan. What you experience is colorism. Colorism came into place when colonization occured. The whole idea fair skin is superior. There is so many indian youtube videos on bleaching baby skin. Thats how colonization corrupted mostly indians mindet.
An average south asian range from fair skin to dark skin. Untouchable? Another word for untouchable is dalit. There is upper caste south asian who are dark as an African and fair skinned like a european. At the same time, there are untouchables who fair skin with european features and dark skin with african features. In Sri Lanka, there is Kaffirs. In India, there is siddi. In south asia, there is upper caste who darker than an average black/african person.
In India, there are 3500 caste/tribe. There is a caste for gangs, thieves, prostitution, and witchcraft. These caste are considered dalits/untouchable. Caste existed before colonization. The British divided them into forward (upper caste), backward (untouchables), scheduled castes (dalits/untouchables) etc. Most of the dalits get reservation seats in university by getting an average mark of 50 to 60% while upper caste should an 90%
I’ve heard of the Indian Caste system through the years but didn’t realize that it was impacting Indians this way outside of India (though it’s not surprising unfortunately, it was surprising that it’s this blatant).

First learnt about this caste system in my literature class from a book called "A House for Mr. Biswas". At the time it never impacted me. Now, several years later, I am realizing this is a problem. Funny, today a relative of mine and I were talking and this very subject came up. It was the first time I had ever discussed it and here you are educating us further about it.

Important and urgent topic. It's about 3,000 years past due for a change. Brava for your fight and call to action!
I’m an Indian from a metro . People here are so delusional, they think the caste system is long gone. But the truth is that it’s rampant in the non urban parts of the country , which is the most part. Especially given the political leadership of current India, it’s only getting worse.
NOW WE SEE WHY THE WEST TOOK OVER SO EASY.. THEY PRACTICE A GLOBAL CASTE SYSTEM.. CALLED COLONIALISM..
Yes like how the opposition is demanding caste survey.
Everyone needs to see Origins and share it others.
My God!! This is absolutely disgusting and evil !!
Nowhere near as evil as Nazis or the whites who killed 25 million people in India with a constructed famine, actually sold people in markets basef on their skin color. Nor is it anywhere near as bad as Islamic jihad. There's plenty more disgusting to look at. You just choose to ignore most of it but fixate on this.

Considering your name, I take it you're black. Buddy, this would apply to everyone non-black. It isn't dependent on caste whatsoever.
@@ashelythas7017you keep repeating the same statement on every thread. That's hardly the right response. At any rate, the caste system in Africa is not that way. People can actually work their way out of it.
@@blessedone6516 I kept repeating because most of the non-south asian people are going to assume that dark skin people are untouchable. Thats not how the caste system works. The caste system in South Asia especially in India there is a reservation where many untouchables are doctors, engineers and so on. Reservation is where an upper caste scores an 90% while an untouchable scores a 60%. The one who score 60% is going to get a seat to enroll in college and universities based on the reservation. Most of the untouchables are Hinduphobic they like to compare themselves to african americans.
The caste system in sri lanka is less severe.There is no reservation. Anyone can go to school, universities, colleges and become doctors, engineer and so one.
The woman in the video is an untouchable whinning about oppression. There is upper caste south asian who are way darker than her.
Caste system is the same whether it is africa or South Asia. The caste system in Africa is based on endogamy, hierarchy status, inherited occupation, by birth, pollution concepts same as South Asia.

She should have mentioned that caste is associated with surname, so it's not 'racially'-marked like it is in North America, although there is bigotry against darker-skinned people--especially women--and a preference for lighter or 'wheaten' complexions.
Yeah, but are there any dark skinned Brahmin?
@@TraceyJean Yes. And there are light-skinned Dalits. But even within and between castes, colourism is prevalent, based more on white supremacy and proximity to whiteness than on caste.

People who think they are better than others or have to treat people in that way usually have moral issues and low self esteem. Sad how humans can treat people in such a way. No matter where I found myself in life, I never looked down my nose on anyone. It hurt me as she referred to her family as an "untouchable.." Castes/unequal power relations are made to keep a certain order in society and to benefit those who create the system and ensure their future generations that same privilege. Humans are terrible to each other. Castes, classism, colorism, racism, nationalism, etc. All moral issues that start in the hearts of man.

Congrats to select This topic under discussion 👍.
This is true in India, very sad truth about society in India, especially in rural india. metro cities are much better, but even educated people follow caste system. Sad but true! Metro cities are much better, lots of intercast marriages happen, mine is an intercaste marriage, so it does happen.
This is not a new phenomenon. It happens to all minority groups . Please, please read the book Caste - The Origins of Our Discontents, by Isabel Wilkerson

My God.... perhaps some cultural traditions and beliefs need to be left back in the "old country".... It seems like this sickening belief in a caste system is one of them.
Some try to escape it, but there will always be somebody who knows about the historical aspect who will bring it up. Much to the dismay of the one trying to keep it under wraps. Humans will always be ugly to each other

There are Dalits among doctors, administrative service officers, military officers, government service officials in India. This is largely due to generous reservations in colleges, in administrative services, and in government job postings. So its a lie that Dalit is an inescapable class.
But caste discrimination does still exist in marriages, and in social acceptance, that's a fact.
Also, not sure why or how she faced caste based discrimination in Canada. I have lived in Canada, and later on in USA for 25 years, raised 2 daughters, sent them through high school and college, and the elder one is about to get married to an Indian origin man. Never have we, or our daughters, faced any caste based discrimination from the Indian society, or even any caste related questions. And we are dark skinned Dravidians from south India, where caste is still a big social issue. My point is, the caste system is very much a part of Indian social structure, but when educated Indians move abroad, they leave the caste system behind. So In our experience, caste system is not present in the fabric of the Indian society in north America.
There is caste division within the Sri Lankan Tamil population. Marriage is between two people and family. One shouldnt force someone to marry against their will. I wouldn't call that caste discrimination in marriages. An individual has the right to say "yes" or "no" to intercaste marriages. Some wouldn't leave the caste system. Most of the upper caste sri lankan tamil in Canada tend to marry within themselves who came during the 70s and 80s. The dalit sri lankan tamil in Canada tend to operate gangs in the 90s and 2000s. There is caste divison within the Sri Lankan tamil communtiy.

No it's not! India's situation is NOT based on skin tone. It's not at all. There are darker skinned Brahmins in India.
Dalit's are also ethnically the same as Indians, unlike African Americans relative to European Americans. Dalits also make up 166 M people. Many are highly educated because of Indian Affirmative action policy.

@@imacarguy4065 India also had slavery for a long time. The Siddi people who are also Indian and very much looked down on by the larger Indian society are actually Black "racially" with ancestors directly from Africa. Your system is older and longer the Americans and just as discriminatory, if not more so, no matter how you try to gloss it up. Your form of bigotry is not better, sorry. Americ is nothing but a baby compared to your system in India. It is what it is.

Interesting like people like Kamala Harris don’t condemn this and talk about this over and over. This has alot to do with hiring practices when hiring manager has that background.
OK racist
She has a bigger role to play than that .America has much bigger problems

That is not how the caste system works in South Asia. There is caste in south asia (sri lanka, india, pakistan, bangaladesh, Nepal), Europe, Africa, Asia and America. Its not based on the colour of the skin. Caste is tribe, community and clan. What you experience is colorism. Colorism came into place when colonization occured. The whole idea fair skin is superior. There is so many indian youtube videos on bleaching baby skin. That's how colonization corrupted mostly indians mindet compared to other south asian countries.

This is Indians on Indians. What a shame.
What she did not say is that in India caste discrimination is outlawed and the government has a lot of incentives for the sub caste communities. No doubt this is hard to police in a very ancient country of over a billion people. Discrimination is a cultural practice and hard to police.
Some ppl just want to be in control. Really sad…

Caste and colorism are two different things. Another word for caste is tribe. clan and community. There are castes/tribes in South Asia - India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan; Europe (royals, peasants), America (segregation of whites (indentured servants) and blacks (slaves were forced to America by their own peers), Asia, and Africa. Caste existed for centuries and it wasnt brought by the colonizers. Out of all the southern Asian countries, India is the worst when comes it caste and colorism. Dont watch a Bollywood movie and perceive that's what an average Indian look like. Most Bollywood celebrities are mixed, middle eastern.
There are 3500 castes/tribes in India. There are tribes in India who do witchcraft, prostitution, thieves, and gangs etc. These types of gangs are segregated by the upper caste. They don't want these tribes coming into the community. There are indigenous people in India in the north and south who are treated like slaves.
Caste systems came from Europe not India ,but on steroids in India . Its a white thing not South Indian

So is every single ideology chief. I'd say Hinduism is the least rooted in racism. No Blasphemy within it.
"Racism" comes within this ideology when it comes time to marry someone from your Ethnocultural background. Because we're looking at preserving the culture. Discrimination is going to occur here.
This discrimination is also towards every outsider. Not just darker skinned people.

In rural societies of Indian, there is no need of any kind of menial work. Even still today. So why there be any untouchable caste ?
Neither ‘caste’ word is Indian nor ‘Zaat/Jaat’ . Zaat is Arabic word having sense of status. None of ancient Indian person have surname to identify caste. It’s Europian tradition. They have surname like Smith, Goldsmith, Gardner, shoemaker etc etc, indicating their ancestor’s work.
Every religion in South Asia have caste system, which was imposed on them by outsiders invaders.
Is this even as relevent in this day and age.. its almost people want to keep it alive..
Difficult to kill old habits. This has been going on for centuries and then there is politics that divide and conquer
The so called untouchables now want to kill the brahmins and actively do by misusing laws in India. Brahmins who have actually never done anything to them.
