Caste Reality in India: Pilot, Professor, कथावाचक को करना पड़ा जातीय भेदभाव का सामना | The Quint

Has caste really been eradicated, or are we simply trying to deny its existence? How deep are the roots of caste-based discrimination in educated India? In this episode of 'Janaab Aise Kaise?', we’ll show you how caste still poisons our society, education, employment, and even religious practices. From the story of discrimination against a DU professor, casteist remarks made to an IndiGo pilot, to the stoning of a Dalit wedding procession in Uttar Pradesh – what do these incidents tell us? If caste no longer exists, why were Dalit youths in Odisha forced to eat grass and drink drain water? Is the lack of diversity in IITs and IIMs just a coincidence, or is it another face of casteism? Aren’t the rising statistics of caste-based violence enough to open our eyes? When caste continues to dominate education, employment, and religious freedom, the question is – how long will we comfort ourselves with the false belief that "caste doesn't exist"?
