Do you think your Dalit neighbors (if you have any) grew up ignorant of their caste?
Ohh yes they did
I’m from the NE part of india. There are more ST people in here, most of my ST friends are richer than me. They usually have Jordans and 2-3 iPhones (iPhones are expensive in india) but they enjoy the perks of freebies and affirmative actions while earning more than the average indian
Bro I would say one thing for you. Everything you see about india in the news channels isn’t real. Neither every people look and speak the same nor everyone gets into arranged marriages
Do you think the fact that you were unaware of your caste might be an indicator of privilege?
People may say I’m playing the victim card but I didn’t get a single privilege for that

It’s kinda amazing how you sound like my boomer American grandparents complaining about affirmative action because my students had AirPods.
Reactionary lazy hatred is truly a universal language.
Nah, I know it’s not all rural “marrying little girls to frogs for rain” stuff. But I also know it is still an issue in the cities, and like white folks in America, you get extremely upset and insecure at the idea that other people maybe deserve a fair share of the pie.
