There is nothing called low-caste and high-caste. It is a distortion of the original concept. The idea is in order to run a society or even a individual properly one needs to imbibe 4 basic qualities of - Thinker (Bramhin), Protector (Kshatriya), Economist (Vaishya), Worker (Shudra). All of them are equal and do not exist in isolation. Even in life one has to imbibe all the 4 qualitites to be successful. This concept will always be true everywhere in whatever profession people pursue. It has been distorted and abused by confused people over time. Most Hindus are not aware of the same. There is nothing wrong with old-age homes. People in the West are quite comfortable with that. For that matter, Hinduism, has 4 stages of life, bramhcharya, grihastha, vanaprastha, sanyas. During the 4th stage one leaves home. What's wrong if Old-age homes are kept well?
