Caste is divided on the basis of occupation of people. This word prevails from the time emperors’ rule. Let us now see how castes were divided and how the lower section citizens were treated in India.
During The Time of Kshatriyas (Kings):
The Kshatriyas were the upper class of the society. The subjects had to obey the rules and regulations of the emperor. The nobles and ministers in the court were given equal power by the king. The religious priests were also given equal status in the society. The common folks were ill – treated and were not given any opportunity in social life.
Present Status Of Caste in India:
Caste plays a vital role in India even now. Dalits the lower section of the society are not provided with basic rights . Dalits are being treated in inhuman way. Politicians are the main culprits for this racial discrimination. Census is being taken on basis of caste system. Nitish Kumar, chief minister of Bihar supports this act. Though these lower section people were denied of many rights and opportunities earlier now things are changing. Government encourages low caste people to become educated by providing lot of opportunities.
Why Discrimination Among People:
People were discriminated on caste based for their own benefits. The upper castes citizens are provided with maximum benefits in all fields . The politicians discriminated the people so that they can bring a growth in their community and earn fame and name .
Stop Casteism!!
We must not discriminate people as rich & down trodden . All must be treated equally on the basis of their skill and knowledge. The government must take initiatives to stop discrimination.
