I am from an orthodox middle class ‘Brahmin’ family, and there are many situations which force me to question myself, "Why we discriminate ourselves from the other caste?" Which also forced me to think why the casteism and other differentiating shits which divide one human from other?
Endogamous, is a word which I came across while researching about, "when and why casteism and religions were originated?" The word “endogamy” means a community in which the members generally marry within a specific ethnic group, class, or social group. After many arguments with parents and relatives and a bit research I have understood that casteism or religions were never originated but they were evolved.
During the evolution of human race, the brain started developing in many different ways and also made them to compare things; to believe and feel things. One started comparing by strength at first, then by color, then by beliefs and so on… It evolved and evolved and now we are at point where 90% of mankind doesn’t know why we differentiate each other, rather just understanding that we are doing nothing but comparing among ourselves… Especially in India, they believe what they are asked to believe rather thinking why we should believe in things which has built a gap between one human and another human. I believe that God has never been the reason behind the development or origination of any caste or creed. It’s all in the grey matter of our head. God has gifted us with the power to think, to compare, to create and evolve…
A newborn child starts comparing and understands his ambience by listening voices and sounds, then he open his eyes and compare shapes and people, but he never compares a person by his caste or creed until he is taught to!!!
We are at a stage where we have stopped comparing through good or bad, right or wrong rather by color, caste, and religion. They say that caste was developed by the profession of a community, but now the situations are totally different. Now, many of so called upper-level community work under, not so well defined, lower community. Now all that doesn't make any sense.
What I strongly feel is that the only difference between humans and other species is our complexity of thinking; we evolve much rapidly than any other species known till date. We have to evolve our thoughts, our level of understanding from a narrow capillary to a much broader space.
Every human is born with equal dignity and rights; it is you and me who have to make a difference in the ideology of discrimination!!!
USE YOUR POWER OF ‘THINKING’!!!
The above is Caste and Creed PERCEIVED THROUGH MY PERCEPTION.
