Although every caste in the World State is meticulously conditioned to accept the hand they are given, there are still many citizens who are dissatisfied with the quality of life available to them in society. Knowingly or unknowingly, these outliers reject their conditioning and strive for something more, whether it be adversity, danger, or passion.

India's Untouchables are relegated to the lowest jobs, and live in constant fear of being publicly humiliated, paraded naked, beaten, and raped with impunity by upper-caste Hindus seeking to keep them in their place. Merely walking through an upper-caste neighborhood is a life-threatening offense.

In any case, the way to transcend caste is not to close our eyes to it, but to look at it very closely, identify and neutralize its relationship with disadvantage and discrimination, and to discover how caste relates to other social divisions such as gender and class. That is what necessitates a caste-based census. Supporters of caste enumeration tend to argue the opposite, namely that by collecting data on the caste-inequality link, the Census could become a promoter of progressive social change, chiefly by strengthening the case for compensatory discrimination policies across the land.

The Indian notion of caste is of something you are born into- I am considered a Nayar because my mother is whereas in comparison one notes the relative mutability of class, deriving more directly from economic and social standing, to become one of the most potent idioms of identity, rank and political power in India. (Dickey, 2000). Being at the apex of the caste hierarchy Brahmins also happen to occupy a disproportionate number of the new software entrepreneurs.

The nation of India operates on a caste system which is a form of “social class” structure from birth. For example, if you were born “poor” you will always be “poor” and vice versa. “The caste system in India is quite rigorous, boasting 3,000 castes and 25,000 subcastes; memberships range between the hundreds and the millions. India’s caste system originated in Hinduism, but other religious groups in India subscribe to similar systems (Gale 2001). Word Count: 90

For thousands of years the caste members was well known how they lived, class, region, gender, tribe, and language. They ate, married, and worked with their own group and if that person was born they rarely changed caste or even mixed with other castes. Social rules defined how to behave within a caste and when in the presence people from other castes. In a caste system was well known in India and was supported by Hindu beliefs “the acceptance of one’s fate in life, several major caste dictated one’s life chance from the moment of birth, especially in rural areas” (Kerbo, 2009).

During my teaching days, I was quite fond of visiting the community my students belonged to. One home visit that I distinctly remember was at a student’s house, who was sharp in Math and kind of my favorite in Math class, knowing that favoritism should not happen with teachers! Since I went there after a long tiring teaching day, I asked for some food. The family members started giving each other a look. After asking them the reason, one of the sisters told me ‘how can you eat here, we are Walmikis’. My first encounter with castesism that left me silent for a moment..

A few disadvantages of India’s social system are that Religion, caste, and language are major determinants of social organizations. According to the US Department of State-Background Notes website, even though the government has declared the caste system as illegal, it still has a presence in occupational and societal hierarchies (The Office of Electronic Information, Bureau of Public Affairs, 2010).

All religious communities in India are afflicted by an unfortunate evil tendency of exclusion. A sad trend of hatred has emerged in the battle against casteism and caste-based discrimination. Kancha Ilaiah’s Why I am not a Hindu (the non-fictional bestseller of 1996) has been constructed as an expression of the voice of post-Independence Dalitbahujan consciousness, which was an integral part of their socio-political movement. Born in a small South Indian Telangana village in the 1950s, his is the voice of the harassed subaltern, which exposes rampant cultural contradictions and practices. He talks about the marginalized and victimized identity, where they were not only neither included nor respected, but also looked down upon and repelled. The battle against disturbing dehumanizing social evils is manifested in the emergence of disparate groups having one thing in common – deep hatred for Hindus. He implores the upper stratas to read and understand what the ‘Other’ (here, an un-Hindu Indian) has to say, for, he believes that those who refuse to listen to new questions and learn new answers will perish and not prosper. The voice of the alienated existence of the subalterns on every level of experience makes us question certain trends of action and thoughts inscribed in our subconscious and evident in our consciousness. Though the book brims with undisguised and unidirectional attacks and opinions, which the readers might find appallingly biased, yet his voice deserves to be
