| schestowitz[TR2] | @OP IBM is full of testosterone fuelled, poisonous maggots like Alvind who like to yell, thinking it increases their self-importance and self-worth. It doesn't. He's probably not not got laid in months, maybe years even. LOL ! So he must continue to yell, and be rude and obnoxious to everyone around him. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This message will of course, self destruct before the end of the day of when the Web admin is told to delete it by Alvind and his Pipmunks - which ever comes first ! | Aug 05 19:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | In many ways it is because the Indian caste system has been allowed to roll along for 2,000 years. I truly think Arvind thinks he is 1 of the smartest and most admired people ever created. And his step son Smarmy Rob Thomas thinks he is both smarter and better looking and admired in his sneakers and hoodies. And of course the stupid emails every Monday morning 7AM with some quip he read on the internet. IBM CEO everywhere looking a | Aug 05 19:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Indian caste system: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The Indian caste system is a hierarchical social structure, largely associated with Hinduism, that divides people into hereditary groups (castes or jatis) with varying degrees of social status and ritual purity. It's a system that has historically dictated social interactions, occupations, and marriage prospects. While it's officially outlawed, its legacy continues to influence Indian society. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Key Aspects: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Varna and Jati: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The system is based on two concepts: varna, the four broad social categories (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras), and jati, which are localized, hereditary subgroups with specific occupations and social customs. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Hierarchy: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The system is hierarchical, with Brahmins (priests, scholars) at the top and Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables") at the bottom, outside of the main four-fold structure. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Social Mobility: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Historically, the caste system was rigid, with limited social mobility. People were largely confined to the social standing of their caste. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Occupational Restrictions: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Caste often determined a person's profession, and some occupations were traditionally associated with lower castes. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Endogamy: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Marriage within one's caste (endogamy) was and is often practiced, further reinforcing the system. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Discrimination: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Dalits have historically faced severe discrimination, including social exclusion, economic hardship, and violence. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Modern Impact: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Despite legal prohibitions, caste remains a factor in social interactions, marriage choices, and access to resources in many parts of India. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Historical Context: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Ancient Origins: | Aug 05 19:47 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | British Influence: | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The British colonial period formalized and strengthened the system through census classifications and other administrative practices. | Aug 05 19:47 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Constitutional Abolition: | Aug 05 19:47 |
