@berserkirclaws107 Millions of poor people can move to the middle class and indeed that has happened in England. Can millions of Dalia or other lower castes in India move up to higher castes ?

@artman12 BTW, I'm French and what I said about the UK is also true of France.

There are caste systems in russia too.

@meerkats9317 Not just food sufficiency. There's excess food production in Europe.

@danielthomas5401 But how can an employer know or a possible business partner?

@artman12 What's moving up? Even the ceremonial president of India is still called a person of a lower caste in India. Terrible. No lower caste person ever moves out or moves up to the higher castes. Sure, yes, in the UK millions of lower class people have moved up into the middle and upper class since the industrial revolution. And in a lifetime with hard work and the right education anyone in the lower class in the UK can move up to the middle or higher class.

@artman12 There's no caste system in France. It's barbaric. Any person of immigrant origin can move up to the middle class and there are hundreds of thousands of them. He or she can also move up to higher or upper class. And there are lots of them there too. We are too civilized to have caste systems for life like in India.

@artman12 No need for government quotas. Education is totally free in France for everyone. Like I said millions of people of immigrant origin are not in the middle class and don't live in the "banlieus". On the other hand, millions of white French actually live in the "banlieus". In India, a person is born in the lower caste, lives all his or her life in lower caste or as a person of lower caste and dies so. His or her children follow the same tragic pattern and it goes on generations after generations. Centuries after centuries. Cruel tragedy.

@artman12 Never quotas were for payment, dummy. When I say education is totally free for everyone in France, it means you can study hard and get out of the lower class. In India you can't get out of the caste even if you study the hardest and work the hardest and become billionaire or the president of the country. Terrible. BTW, I will now start wondering if Richi Sunak is from the lower caste in India. Is he ? If not, which caste is he from?

@artman12 Lol. The caste system existed centuries before the British graced the shores of India and will continue to exist centuries after the British have left.

@artman12 It's an even greater insult on the Indians to claim the British imported and imposed such a barbaric system on Indians and they accepted and adopted it. Why did British not do same in Africa or the middle east or in other parts of Asia. You diminish and insult your people in the name of trying to falsely defending them. Somebody here needs to buy some intelligence.

@artman12 I don't know of any country in Africa with caste systems and worst with immutable caste like India that is biologically transmitted from family to kids and from generations to generations. It's people like you that justify this monstrosity in India with lies that the British created and imposed on your hapless ancestors who according to you couldn't think for themselves. I should remind you that we are reading the testimonies of Indians of the lowest caste. Terrible. My heart bleeds for them. Even more because it's a trap they are not permitted to ever escape from. I know some Indians here in France, one has a restaurant. I'm wondering if I can go there and ask for the rank of his caste back in India. What do you think artman12 ? Do you think it's a good idea ?

Can any Indian give me an answer here; how can one distinguish a dalia or a person of a given caste as most Indians look alike physically? Or is a person obliged to declare his or her caste at every turn?
