Question: Discuss the caste system in terms of it's justification by the Brahmins, and the impact on the Dalits.
The caste system is justified by the Brahmins because they think that if the Dalits' family line do the same exact job throughout history then the kids will automatically know how to do the job and they wouldn't know what else to do. Their biggest justification is that their holy religious book says that the country must follow those rules and they can not change. The Brahmins also say that the system makes sure that everyone has a job, they also say that the Dalits are okay with this.
The impact on the Dalits is received in many ways. One of the ways is that anyone that is a Dalits cannot really socialize with higher classes because they will pollute the higher class. In public places owned by a higher class, Dalits must remove their shoes or they will get beat up, also in parts of town where only higher classes live. Kids that go to school that are Dalit have to clean bathrooms instead of learning. If a Dalits father or mother was a sweeper than that child must be a sweeper and his child and his child and so on forever. Basically in the family line they can not change jobs. Dalits also cannot move up a class, making them suffer the rest of their life as a Dalit. The caste system is not a fair way to get jobs done because there's only one class that does all the dirty work and they have no choice but to do it.
