‘What’s your caste?’

Preeti Gill encounters caste in an English Pub:

I was floored. What’s my caste? I had never been asked that before. It took me a few moments to reply and when I told her, it turned out we’re from the same caste. She immediately opened up entirely to me and we ended up becoming very good friends. It amazed me that someone so liberal could judge me based on my caste.

A few moments later, this caste nonsense happened again from Sikh Punjabi. Sikh’s have a different caste system, even though technically it’s outlawed in the religion. The Indian culture has permeated not only Sikh Punjabis but Pakistani Muslims as well which is the only Muslim country to havea caste system.,

    Well…
    The caste system actually helps inflate overinflated punjab ego…
    There are actually Punjabs that think they’re better than everyone else and would only shut up after being asked “What’s your caste???”…
    Personally, I hope there’s a caste system in every race/ religion…
    Only then would people know their place in society and where they stand…
    Some people are just too arrogant for some reason…
    And it hurts them most when you say stuff like “No offense, but I think your people are disgusting people”…
    Haha…
