The most frightening thing about India is the caste system
by Kumar on Mar 09, 2008 06:08 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

The caste system is killing India specially the states of UP and Bihar. But the castiest elites from these states will continue to deny this fact, till all these castiest elite themselves become the new dalits of India. What goes around comes around. These castiest elites from UP and Bihar treated the lower castes like dirt, now they are treated in an identical fashion by the people from Maharashtra.

When the last caste survey was done in 1931 by the British rulers, compared to any other state in India, UP had the highest Brahmin population of 10%. It also has a very high Rajput, Kayasth and Baniya population. It is funny that the state with the hightest number of upper caste population in India is the worst state in the union.
