Gotta agree with King. Too many people try to apply wester values and morals (ha!) to other societies. When those societies are ready for change, change will come, as it comes to all things. Others forcing the change can only cause even more pain. Look at Iraq. Ask the families of the 100's of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians if the West should have forced change THERE. Who are we to judge, indeed.
So many America haters here. If this caste system existed in a religious group in the USA it would be destroyed due to the horrible injustice and rightly so. The truth is the freedom and equality in the USA is greater than anywhere else. The systems of castes and karma only serve to make the wealthy in those countries feel better about their greed.
the upper class of india is white right, or part white or somethin?

Dalits do not like being at the bottom of society. That is the key for making a judgement about this system, not whether or not it is "foreign."

...too bad 90% of all seats in Indian colleges are saved for the lower classes, to correct for injustices they've suffered in the past.
Way to do your research you fucking idiot.

oh yes, because as long as it's accepted by religion, it's perfectly okay, right?

The previous comment was for KingFernandoBono, who judged others and commanded them to change their ways.

Interesting that you chose to judge someone and commanded that person to change his/her ways.
It's called hypocrisy.
Your premise that it's okay for you to judge, while commanding others not to behave as you do suggests a god complex.
