#2It’s dumb. They’re trying to get caste codified and defined where all it will do is extend the longevity of a system that is genuinely on its way to being forgotten, even in India.

Really? How would it extend longevity?
Seems like people who are fighting this are likely the ones still benefitting from this system

#4Humans: even if there is 0.01% genetic difference between people or ZERO, we'll still seek some other way to discriminate against each other because hey that's what conscious life is all about right, hating "the other" ?
Ban it, make it politically incorrect. We have to start somewhere by saying it's wrong or each generation will just teach it to the next.
Yes governments should ban it, that protects people.

Caste discrimination is illegal in India. So according to your logic, perhaps codifying and banning it seems to be working then.

Being forgotten in India? Things are much better than it was before but there are still couple being murdered for marrying out of their caste

A simple search for "caste discrimination" seems to disprove that. Whether or not you agree that it's routine or rare, or whether it happens in the US or just in India, it's absolutely not "forgotten". Coverage of the practice in the media is pervasive.

#10its certainly touching a nerve with me, in that it shouldn't exist. the caste system is a disgusting relic of systematic oppression that has no business being in india, never mind being exported to america.
