如何终结印度的种姓歧视

Example:

Say for example I am a vegetarian and my son wants to play with a child who is a Non – Vegetarian. How will we handle this situation?

Sure you can go to his home. Maybe you don’t need to eat Non – Veg, but you can definitely drink a cup of water or even a coffee. Training our current generation child plays a very important role in eliminating such differences and to enable our economy become even more powerful.

例子:

举个例子，如果我是一个素食者，我的儿子想和一个非素食者的孩子玩。我们会如何处理这种情况?

你当然可以去他家。也许你不需要吃非素食食物，但你绝对可以喝一杯水，甚至一杯咖啡。对我们这一代的孩子在消除这些差异的培养，在让我们的经济变得更加强大的方面发挥了非常重要的作用。

RESPECT THE CULTURE OF NON – BRAHMINS (Includes all forms of caste from all parts of India)

One has to understand that if Brahmins had rituals in the form of “Yagna” which is fire based rituals, there are thousands of other communities that had other kind of festivals and rituals. Do you want to miss these., just because you are categorised.

尊重非婆罗门的文化(包括来自印度各地的各种种姓)

你必须明白，如果婆罗门有以“雅格纳”形式的仪式，即以火为本的仪式，那么成千上万的其他社区也有其他的节日和仪式。你难道就因为被分类了，而愿意错过这些吗？

PROMOTE RESERVATION BUT NOT BY USING TERMS LIKE GEN/OC/OBC/SC AND ST BUT BY USING THE WORD EEO - - - EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY

This is a very tricky discussion. I personally feel, RESERVATION should exst especially for the UNDERPRIVILEGED till India attains 100% literacy.

促进预留制，但不要使用GEN/OC/OBC/SC和ST等术语，而是实施EEO—平等就业机会

这是一个非常棘手的讨论。我个人认为，在印度达到100%的识字率之前，尤其应该对贫困人口保持预留制。

INTER CASTE MARRIAGE WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM

Many have said that inter caste marriage will solve the problem, but I don’t accept this. As I have said, every caste in India is unique in terms of their life style and culture and nothing can be quoted as either superior or interior as compared to others. So even an inter caste marriage will result in disputes to show the inferiority and superiority amongst others.

跨种姓婚姻并不能解决问题

很多人说跨种姓婚姻可以解决问题，但我不这么认为。正如我所说的，在印度，每个种姓都有其独特的生活方式和文化，不会因此而比别人更优越或更低贱。因此，即使是跨种姓婚姻也会引发争端。

The best way to eliminate this social evil is Inter-caste marriage.

I don't know how many will agree but in majority parts this is areal issue.Inter caste marriage are forbidden and severe actions are taken (such as honor killing, bride murder etc.) if it happens.

So the society should first treat everyone as equal.If you are against inter caste marriage that means clearly you are supporting the age old evil and this also proves the need of Quota.

And lastly generation also matters a lot.Our elder generation are not open minded than younger ones. So as we all know "TIME IS THE BEST MEDICINE",as time passes i am pretty sure this evil will be wiped out from our holy motherland..

Jai hind...

消除这种社会恶习的最好办法是跨种姓婚姻。

我不知道有多少人会同意，但在大多数情况下，这是一个真正的问题。跨种姓婚姻是被禁止的，如果发生了这种情况，人们会采取严厉的措施(如“荣誉处决”、“新娘处决”等)。

所以社会应该首先平等对待每个人。如果你反对跨种姓婚姻，那就意味着你在支持古老的恶习，这也证明了配额制的必要性。

新一代也很重要，我们的老一辈不像年轻一代那样思想开放。所以，正如我们都知道的“时间是最好的良药”，随着时间的流逝，我很确定这个恶习将从我们神圣的祖国销声匿迹。

The solution is very simple - Parents need to stop teaching and passing on casteism to their children.

A new born is as pure as God, knows nothing and accepts everything as told. Once parents stop teaching their kids that they are downtrodden as their parents are from downtrodden caste OR that they are superior to everyone else due to their parent being from superior caste, THEN kids will not associate their worth with their caste.

This is already happening in several families - where parents are teaching their kids about work and success and not caste. Many people who study or work abroad learn that caste does not exst in practicality and you earn money based solely on merit. Caste which does not give food to eat, cloth to wear, shelter over the head - but only messes up the mind. When they return to India, they find casteism illogical and hence are vocal supporters of merit. With this education, increasingly, we witness how several people of today’s generation are against casteism and are vocal about how illogical it is.

解决办法很简单——父母必须停止把种姓制度概念传授给孩子的行为。

每个新生的孩子就像神明一样纯洁，什么都懵懵懂懂，大人说什么他们就信什么。只要父母不再向孩子传授种姓概念，让他们知道自己因为父母是受压迫的种姓，他们也必须受到践踏，或者因为他们的父母是高种姓，他们就比其他人都高贵，那么孩子们就不会把他们的自身价值和种姓联系在一起。

很多家庭已经这么做了——父母们教导他们的孩子如何努力、成功，而不是依赖种姓。许多在国外学习或工作的人都知道，种姓制度并不存在于实际生活中，你的收入完全是凭本事说话的。种姓不会给人们食物、衣服、遮风挡雨的庇护所，只会使人头脑混乱。当他们回到印度的时候，他们发现种姓制度不合逻辑，因此他们直言不讳地支持以才服人。有了这种教育观念，我们越来越多地看到今天这一代人反对种姓制度，并且大声疾呼这种制度不合逻辑。

But the issue is -

1.Will a low caste parent dare to not pass on his inferiority complex to his child?

2.Will a high caste parent dare to not pass on his superiority complex to his child?

但问题是-

1。一个低种姓的父母敢不把自己的自卑情结传给孩子吗?

2。一个高种姓的父母敢不把自己的优越感传给孩子吗?

I believe that the caste system in India can be easily removed if everyone or most people want it to be done. It can be done in the following manner

我相信，如果每个人或大多数人都希望这样做，印度的种姓制度可以很容易地消除。以下有几种方式：

1.Stop Revealing Your Caste - “What is your caste?” is a common question. I wonder why people bother to answer this question. I always say that I do not belong to any caste. People should stop revealing the caste when searching for a house rent or just having a casual talk. If a person who asks this question gets such a reply twice, he or she won't ask this a third time.

2.Removing surname from caste - This is a subdivision of the first one. (Edit: I do not intend to say that all people having a caste surname are very castiest in nature. I have friends and even family members with caste surnames. And many of them are very broad minded. I guess that caste surnames will cease to be important if people are ‘equal in their minds' which is my next point. )

3.Be equal in your mind - The problem with the caste system is that the people are mentally slaves to it. The lower caste unnecessarily gives respect to the upper caste for no apparent reason other than birth. Stop this mentality. This unnecessary subordination of people to another group of people just on basis of birth is what created this complex system. First believe that you are neither superior nor inferior to anyone by birth.

4.Stop advertising for same caste partners during marriages - This is so sick. However educated a person is ( education here refers to college degrees and foreign exposure etc not mental education), the person still wants to have a partner from the same caste and subcaste.

5.Be fair - While giving jobs, be fair and stop favouring people from your caste or religion. It must definitely be on basis of pure merit.

6.Finally remove reservation - Often people who are from well to do backgrounds and have not faced any form of discrimination use the reservation system thus depriving this from people who really need it.

1。不要暴露你的种姓——“你是什么种姓?”这是一个常见的问题。我想知道为什么人们要为如何回答这个问题烦心。我总是说我不属于任何种姓。人们在找房子或只是闲聊时，不要泄露自己的种姓。如果你这样回答问这个问题的人两次以后，他或她就不会再问第三次了。

2。从姓氏中的去除种姓——这也属于第一个方法。(编辑：我并不是姓氏中带有种姓的人都有种姓观念。我有朋友，甚至有些家庭成员的姓氏中带有种姓。他们中的许多人思想很开明。我想，如果人们的“思想上是平等的”，种姓姓氏将不再重要，这是我的下一个观点。

3。大家在观念上要一概平等——种姓制度的问题是人们在精神上是它的奴隶。低种姓不必要地尊重高种姓，除了出生之外没有别的原因。这种心态需要终止。一些人仅仅基于出身不合理的臣服于另一群人，创造了这个复杂的系统。首先要相信，你天生既不比任何人优越，也不会低人一等。

4。结婚时不要强求同种姓配偶——这太恶心了。无论一个人受过怎样的教育(这里的教育指的是大学学位和国外的教育等等，而不是精神教育)，这个人还是希望找来自同一种姓和细分种姓的伴侣。

5。要公平——在招聘时，要公平，不要偏袒跟你相同种姓或宗教信仰的人。必须任人唯贤。

6。最后，取消预留制——通常是那些出身名门，从未遭到任何歧视的人霸占了预留制，剥夺了真正需要预留制的人的权利。

Basically, the quality of a country depends upon the people living in it. Discrimination can be removed only via active participation of people. But if majority still wishes to keep the system, nothing can be done about it.

从跟本上说，一个国家的质量取决于它的人民。只有通过人们的积极参与才能消除歧视。但如果多数人仍希望保留这一制度，那就无计可施了。
