    This caste system is not a great mystery for the world, and I knew personally about it for a long time… It is realy strange how this culture and this system was establihed at all, however the traces of its existence we can still find nowadays. I consider it inhumane… it’s really wrong that higher class of people are considered gods compared to untouchables, for who invented this,who got this idea?Somebody who wanted to establish himself in power, nothing more… It’s hard to imagine how you could live under such conditions, however India was a very powerful state and managed to stopAlexander the Macedonian and always resisted British policies,so maybe this system works, no matter how bizzare it looks… You never know until you try to live in it…

    I don’t like the idea of being judged by a system that says you can’t this or that. Living under the caste system was pretty harsh, but this translates into the kind of judgement we have today.

    this was a good podcast and i thing it is so sad that some of those kids were starving and people here in america dont understand how lucky they are just to have a roof over there heads.
    i dont think its right how they have the cast system so the untouchables do all the work just so that the higher class can live the way they need to. the untouchables go through so much for this and they have to go through people saying that there polluted and make it seem like its a problem but the reality is if they didnt do what they did then the upper class wouldnt have the good life that they have.

    Hi,Im Candra and the podcast video was very helpful.I would of never new that people suffer in India.They hardley have any food and clean water to bath with.It was very Understanding by the words.I enjoy wacthing the podcast and thank the person who made it.I think the idea of the caste system is a good idea because its just like in the United States laws.Every one has to follow thers contry’s laws.It might be pretty harsh but it’s the right thing to do by helping your country to not make it go to far with the cleanleness.
