How can we end caste discrimination in India?

我们要如何终结印度的种姓歧视？

QUORA网站读者评论：

Arpit Sharma, Have learnt some lessons myself.

Hey there.

There are a lot of answers and ways that can help in removing the caste system from our country.

But then, there is this one thing we can do, That I ensure , Will destroy casteism from India right by its roots.

嘿。

有很多答案和方法可以帮助我们将种姓制度从我们的国家中废除。

但是，有一件事是我们能做的，我保证，能彻底摧毁印度的种姓制度。

REMOVE RESERVATION.

The induction of caste system in our country has many theories, and the majority of it says that the lower caste people were discriminated based on the caste. Whatever may it be, The whole system has now become obsolete. In the develo world and Modern India, Nobody gives a damn about which caste you belong to, unless you yourself Use casteism to make them realize that.

Take my case,for example. Till my senior school, I never even thought about which caste somebody belongs to. I was not even introduced to the caste system, and my first acquaintance with the system was horrible: It was when I realized that a person scoring less than me in an All India exam gets a seat in medical because he belongs to some Caste.

废除预留制。

我国种姓制度有很多理论，其中大多数认为低种姓的人是因种姓而受到歧视的。不管如何，种姓系统现在已经过时了。在发展家和现代的印度，没有人在乎你属于哪个种姓，除非你自己利用种姓制度让他们意识到这一点。

以我为例。在我上高中之前，我从未有过一个人是属于某个种姓的概念。也没有人跟我介绍过种姓制度，我对这个制度的第一次接触是很可怕的：那时我意识到，一个在全印度考试中得分比我低的人，会因为他属于某个种姓而得到医生的席位。

It was only that day that I understood that casteism in India is real. The same is the case with all the modern world early adults, who have no Problem with people of lower castes, and trust me, would love to eat with them, marry them , and demolish casteism , Only if reservation was to be abolished.

Playing the victim card of having being discriminated in the past is doing no good to people. Enough of reservation on these grounds have already been given and the status of these people has already risen. RIght now, they themselves are a big impediment for their coming generations.

直到那一天，我才明白印度的种姓制度是真实存在的。所有当代社会的年轻人也是如此，他们与低种姓的人相处没有问题，相信我，他们愿意和低种姓的人一起吃饭，结婚，废除种姓制度，前提是废除预留制。

打曾经被歧视的受害者牌对人们没有好处。基于这些理由的预留制已经够了，这些人的地位已经提高。现在，他们本身就是下一代的一大障碍。

So what is to be done here? The best way is for the Scheduled caste people to come forward and to abolish reservation themselves. It will make them more competent and intelligent. It will avoid brilliant Indians to leave India, And Above all, It will remove casteism from Our country.

I agree that there are a lot of remote areas in our country where casteism is prevalent, but that is being practiced by the Old generation people. With the newer generation getting educated, such a step by the youth will surely cause a change in time, for both themselves and the country.

那么我们该怎么做呢?最好的办法是让表内种姓的人挺身而出，自己废除预留制。这将使他们更有能力和智慧。能避免让聪明的印度人离开印度，最重要的是，它将消除我们国家的种姓制度。

我同意在我们国家许多偏僻的地方，种姓制度很普遍，但是这是老一代人实施的。随着新一代接受教育，年轻人的这么做肯定会给他们自己和国家带来改变。

Ramji Vinodh

I will take a different perspective to answer this question and will explain how this is possible seeing from all categories of people. Before I talk my discussion, let me say a story.

Imagine you are travelling in an aircraft and you belong to a superior caste and there is a beautiful baby playing with, cuddling with you and talking to you with great love and affection belonging to a lower caste. Suddenly you have got news that there is going to be emergency landing and you have realized that no one is going to survive and the breathing apparatus are said to be put around your mouth.

我将用不同的视角来回答这个问题，并从多种人群的角度来解释这将如何实现。在讨论之前，我先讲一个故事。

想象一下，你坐飞机旅行，你是高种姓，有个低种姓的漂亮宝宝在和你玩耍，抱着你，和你说话，表示出对你浓浓的爱和感情。突然你得知飞行需要紧急着陆，你意识到没有人能活下来，呼吸装置就吊在你的嘴边。

Case 1: You have safely inserted your breathing kit and the baby next to you is struggling and she doesn’t know how to put it around her mouth and her parents are staying in a different seat and are not allowed to move out of their seat. WILL YOU HELP? I AM SURE YOU WILL.

Case 2: Your breathing kit has collapsed and the baby next to you says “Uncle please take mine and I will wait for the air hostess to get me one” A baby doesn’t know their caste.

情况1：你已经安全地装好呼吸装置，你旁边的孩子正在挣扎，她不知道如何放到她的嘴边，她的父母在其他座位，不能离开。你会帮她吗?我相信你会的。

情况2:你的呼吸装置出了问题，你旁边的婴儿说:“叔叔，请把我的拿去用吧，我等空中小姐再给我拿一个。”婴儿对他们的种姓一无所知。

EDUCATION

Education among the rural youth will help explore such people realise their potential. The challenge in this is that, when they come for education to urban areas, they are talked about their past and it hampers their growth and it results even in suicide. Needless to mention that transition from Rural to Urban lifestyle is not so easy. It’s only us that we need to welcome such people and it’s only by competition that one can gain success in life.

教育

对农村青年的教育将有助于发掘这些人的潜力。这其中的挑战在于，当他们来城市接受教育时，他们的过去被人议论，这阻碍了他们的成长，甚至导致他们自杀。不用说，从农村向城市生活方式的转变并不容易。我们需要欢迎这样的人，只有通过竞争才能在生活中获得成功。

KEEG RITUALS INSIDE YOUR HOME AND DOING EVERYTHING BY YOURSELF

Let’s see this from two perspectives. Generally it’s said that lower caste people are the one who pick the banana leaf from the marriage ceremony or any form of rituals. When all the family members engage in conducting of a ritual, there you won’t show the discrimination towards other people because you are the one who is conducting the ritual (setting up of fire altar) and you would be the one involved in cleaning.

把宗教仪式留在家里，自己做每件事

让我们从两个角度来看。一般来说，低种姓的人是在婚礼或所有仪式上摘香蕉叶的人。当所有的家庭成员都在进行仪式时，你不会表现出对其他人的歧视，因为你是主持仪式的人，而你也可能是负责清洁的人。

Please note that - - - This is not to be interpreted as low class people aren’t allowed inside the ritual place. NO, that’s not my point.

YOUR CHILD

When you are educating your child, please make sure not to use derogatory words such as “You should not play with him just because he belongs to some other caste.

请注意—这并不是说低等阶层的人不允许进入仪式场所。不，那并不是我的观点。

你的孩子

当你教育孩子的时候，请不要使用贬损的词，例如“仅仅因为他是其他种姓，你不许和他玩。”
