Once I visited a kannada speaking Brahman house in search of an alliance for my sister. I was delighted when we were told. that although we belonged to a Brahman community, we were still lower than theirs, and as such it was not a match
Caste is not 4 letter word. It is more like a 3 letter word: you talk about it, but with a giggle; everyone does it; with some one close you can talk about it openly - the good, the bad & the ugly aspects of it. Ignorance or denial of it, like that of its 3 letter cousin leads to wrong attitude, confused identity, relationship problems, & exploitation. Caste Education/Literacy is a right of information in a matter that affects us so as to have healthy identity and relationships
