I did not read the whole thread BUT this thread only blames Bahuns and Kshetrias...and I think thats not the real issue! I think the main problem in Nepal is not the two castes but every caste tht exists. Its not like the lower caste think they are BAD and tht ppl should pity them! They think they are the best too. I have seen so many people totally biased no matter how educated they are. I have seen All castes point fingers at all other castes! Its just there and I dont think that it can be totally erased from our mind (or the mind of the people of our generation who believe in this crap)! The only hope we have is that the generation below us will hopefully realize what a pathetic and prejudiced crowd their ancestors were and eradicate the whole caste thing. Sorry to say this but whoever started this thread is not a non-biased person either. He thinks that the 2 high castes are stuck up and all that. Why look at people and say.. oh that chor bahun.. or that stuck yp chettri.. or whatever. Cant you just look at someone and say.. oh that person there! If there was no discrimination in his heart he would not post this. I see more of an anger coming out from his postings rather than an "educated discussion" as he calls it. Seriously I have not seen any person treat the other castes like "some lowly human beings by the Group of people who are in powerful positions in the country." Does that indicate that only the two castes hold the higher positions? What ideas do u have about the caste system? Do u think thats a nuisance to start w ith OR do u think that the only 2 castes mentioned should admit defeat? I could not understand you!
