Caste System in Nepal

Pisces, you must be blinded by the few who go after Skin color rather than being rational. For your information, personally, like Sitara said, color, creed, caste, class doesnt matter to me. If I discover that he is the guy who I can spend the rest of my life with, I will marry a Pode or Kasai who has a 'Kukhura Masu Pasal' at a corner of a galli in Nepal. You know why? Because I, have the capacity to change. Pisces, I'm glad you're bringing our biases out. I have some biases of my own, like, I could be born poor, but I would very much like to change my Class status if I can. Like everybody else, I would like to spend my life comfortably, not working in a 'Kukhura ko pasal'. Realistically, like most of us, I am ambitious. That doesnt mean I would give up liking a Pode, because his Class and Social status that all of us are so disgusted about, I have the capacity to change. Its not a crime to be born poor, to be born as a Muslim, to be born as a Pode. I wouldnt be embarrased to open a butcher shop myself next to some galli in Kathmandu, its labor, its work (dont you know most of us here work our ass off washing dishes in restaurants?? Where does your (or anyone else's) embarrassment go then?). But as said earlier, I have my weaknesses, the greatest one is to be able to change my Class status. But dont worry, dirty jokes like Marrying a rich American doesnt even cross my mind. I believe in my own dignity and hard work. Chao!
