Caste Discrimination Talk it out Loud

I saw the topic of Caste Discrimination. I saw a lot of people hating it, few participating it. Well my point of view is that Good or Bad we need to talk it out loud. I believe that ours is the last generation to have this conversation so why miss the train. If you look around and watch carefully, do you have any pure newars or bahuns around you? nor any Chhetris or Gurungs or Rais. The things are getting so vague that we are recalling people that we have seen rarely and commenting about them. Atleast its been a while I have seen a pure bahun who does path and maintains untouchability, a pure gurung who carries a khurpa, and myself being a newar hardly can speak newari. In the near future no one will even remember what caste they belong to. I would like to compare the situation with the whites of US in the current day. I can imagine in the early 18th century when they flocked from Europe they had a lot of discrimination amongs themselves like English, French, Scottish, Irish and what not. But look at them now, there is nothing like that, any one talks about it looks stupid. I think this is almost towards the end of the caste era. We are the last of the people who talk about it. So I think its okay to Caste Discriminate for a while, our sons and daughters won have that previlidge. Jai Hos
