I hope this comes across as me being merely ignorant of the situation on the ground in India but I do have a question.
I've seen caste based discrimination here in America first hand. It's gross and I have absolutely no patience with those participating in it.
If I were to go to India with this attitude, would I be met with compatriots that also have zero interest in putting up with it? Is there a reason that such a backwards obviously oppressive system persists to this day in 2023? Why don't people just change their names to the caste they want to be
Apologies, I'm a privileged American that can't begin to imagine putting up with even a moment of it personally. I know it's not so simple but it's a simple way to ask.
