I literally copy and pasted what I could find from the brief article. Your beef is with the authors.


No, context matters.

You trivialized the subject by your one-liner and rightfully got schooled on it.


At least 5 HN readers disagree with you.


That means nothing i.e. Ignorance.

It is a question of Education and Why one should not trivialize it.


You are right, I don't want to remain ignorant. Educate us about the sudras and untouchables.

Brahmans, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, and Sudras are the four Hindu castes. These castes or groupings are called varnas. Whatever caste or varna a baby is born into will be his or her varna for life. Marriages for young people are arranged within one's caste. Each caste has its codes of conduct and unique lifestyles. For example, upper caste members receive better education. For centuries lower caste members were forbidden to even acquire books. Sudras' work never allows them to gain financial independence or accumulate wealth. All wealth in Indian society is reserved for the top three castes.

Below the four varnas is a fifth group called Achuta, known as Untouchables.


???

Totally irrelevant to the topic at hand; you have now officially "jumped the shark".


The suffering of the Indian people is not the topic at hand, it's the suffering of the Indian people caused by British and only the British. Got it.

Yes it was very bad. I saw a documentary about it called RRR.


Sarcasm without Knowledge is merely Ignorance masquerading as Intelligence.


You spelt “Education” with a capital E there…
