Bonsoir à tous
Je viens de finir de faire un résumer sur les castes, et je voudrai être sûr qu’il n’y a pas de fautes, pouvez vous vérifié, merci pour votre aide
first, I will talk to you about the inequalities between citizens, we will see the caste system. This Indian system divides society into four hierarchical groups, it is very complex. The castes have their origins in Hinduism, but have also been influenced by the development of society.
The word caste comes from the Portuguese casta which means pure, unmixed. It was therefore introduced by the colonizers. The caste principle actually brings together two concepts: varna ("color", "nature" or "rank" ) and jati ("birth").you cannot marry a person belonging to another caste, nor can you change caste.
The society is divided into Brahmans who provide religious services, below them the Kshatriyas or warriors, then the Vaishyas, who are at the origin of the cultivating owners, finally the Shudras, small farmers and breeders.
Dalits are excluded from this system because they are in charge of the “dirtiest” reported tasks, which includes manual cleaning of toilets in rural areas (prohibited since 2013), washing clothes or sweeping the streets.
In rural areas there is still discrimination against dalits, for example they are only allowed in certain schools. today there are 170 million Dalits in India, and more than 40% survive on less than $ 2 a day
It is a true hierarchical and unequal division of society.
