I am amazed to see that in the 21st century, when our country is burning with terrorism, people still have time to be divided into groups and curse each other. That has always been and will always be the weakness of our country. The caste system which is nothing but barely attempt of the people who claimed to be bahuns and chettirs to dominate the poor. If tomorrow, you take a blood test or any other test, will there be any difference between the people that are of different caste? You are proud to be a bahun, a chettri, a newar, rai, limbu, magar and every other caste, but isnt the person sitting next to you as proud of their own caste. What exactly is the caste system? -- It is a barrier that has been seperating the Nepalis and keeping them form uniting and looking at each other with a non-discriminating eye. It had done nothing but resulted in bitterness and fights. So when the time comes for all of us to be united, why are we still clinging to this tabboo that should have been gotten rid of well before time?
