Apartheid in Fancy Dress: Against India’s arranged marriage regime

Well, yes and no. Caste is a lot more than racism based on class. It is hard to explain how much an Indian is normalised to racism. If you ask a "high caste" brahmin, they (we, I come from one such family) will say casteism doesn't exist.

It does.

I've seen it and it is horrible. I loathe the caste system. I loathe almost everything to do with hinduism. I loathe how deeply astrology is rooted in our systems, I loathe how I can tell what sub-caste of brahmin someone is by the way they dress during ceremonies or by the marks on their forehead. It disgusts how I have been raised in a way that I prefer my castle's cooking to another's.

The caste system is definitely disgusting. If you're very interested in knowing more, contact me on twitter. I use the same handle everywhere. I'll send you some resources about how it has damaged this society more than helped it.
