It is really unfortunate that the caste system survives all types of conversions: catholicism, islamism, buddhism, sikhism, in addition to being a bane of hinduism in India. I am told that Indians take take their castes with them as undeclared baggage to foreign lands and multiply it there illicitly.

Ideally, the caste system India was "BEST BEFORE 15 August,1947" Why we use this outdated package in the current era is beyond my comprehension. Like the live but expired misiles and mortars from Iran that are making news in North India these days, they may explode in the re-cycling units of society in which they surface ....if not defused before the scrap goes into the melting pot.
