This really deserves a post aside from other considerations or sects.If you are born into the Brahmin or Warrior cast;you are that.The same with the untouchables. In the U.S.,we have social mobility,such a thing is unthinkable in Asia.I just noticed that I did not capitalize "untouchables".Do you see how deep seated and unchangeable this is?It could bring down the entire Arayan right to rule and the Siddharta.Kinda scary to rock a 6,000 yr. old boat.There is really no way of knowing but,I assure you that it will be bloody.Change has to happen.The untouchables will not accept this, with American ideas in their heads,forever.Don`t be in India when it comes to a boil.

I was thinking about the Uppanashids.Please correct me.It is one way to learn.

Things are changing, ghostsix. I think the present prime minister of India is an untouchable.

There was just a tv show about this to stir up the hippocritical sense of American morals and injustice. When the government of India does attempt to toss the caste system aside they will be asking for instant change after many centuries of societal levels we just cannot understand. While our comprehension will be nil, our all knowing foreign policy wonks will be screaming for their human rights, and demand that equality be instituted or we get tough: embargo, Jimmy Carter monitoring elections, lots of people in blue berets with threats as empty as their guns. That should add to the confusion and bloodshed that GHOSTSIX is so right in predicting. Stand by to duck.

I believe much of the American public is unaware of the strength that India possesses in one facet of its national identity. To begin with, it has a large population, one of the largest in the world. India has used that population base to create a very formidable army. It is a large army, well-equipped and well-trained. It is enough to give (Red) China fits. Would India's army be used in a caste war? Or bide its time, and pick up the reins of power as a spoil of war?
 
John is correct,because he agrees with me.Bill,you are correct,however, the president of India has no power.The reason that I bring this up is because of previous ideas of doing business with India.This is a cauldron which will boil.Don`t have more than you are willing to lose in it.There are other problems but,this may be the spark.No I am not the DoD or the state dept.I am not going to capitalize those people.
I meant to restrict that to the state dept.Apoligies to all untouchables.

Thanks for all posts and a special thanks to ghostsix for pointing out the pitfalls of doing business in places where political trouble is brewing. I was in Guantanamo Bay when Fidel Castro was stealing chickens in the hills. I know things can and do happen.
