The BBC has broadcast a live reality of caste discrimination. Share this video and make sure it reaches those who keep claiming that casteism no longer exists in India. 🔥🔥🔥
In the video, a Dalit man calls to rent a room. The owner initially agrees, but the moment he identifies the caller's caste from his surname, he abruptly disconnects the call.
Even today, there are many villages in Madhya Pradesh whose names are based on caste identities, yet no effort is being made to change them.
Casteism operates on multiple levels. In cities, it often appears in subtle and hidden forms, in villages, it is frequently open and unapologetic.
Those who created and perpetuated the caste system should feel ashamed instead of taking pride in a hierarchy that continues to humiliate and exclude millions.
