caste system may be our culture, tara we gotta let go of things in our culture that are not serving our best interests. u do agree taht there are certian things in our culture that are seriously messed up...do u think we should stick to those values for the next hundred years? the world is moving at a very fast pace for us to afford that. i think. there is a reason why we dont' see too many people wth last names such as 'nepali' and 'biswakarma' in the intellectuall, scieintific, educational or political field. ..or at any influential positiion for that matter. i dont' think this is fair. it might take a gooodddd period of time for the caste systme to go away, tara i think it eventaully should. besides, the purpose of the caste system, initially, was to divide the work force, divide jobs and organize soceity, now our society is not really stuructured that way. (well it is, when it comes to all the dirty jobs), tara this is why we should let go of it. lets keep the good things in our culutre, hunna?
