Індія: багатство для обраних, страждання — для решти. Чому? | WAS

In India, some are born to live in luxury, while others live in a life of slavery with no way out. Why is this the case? The caste system is not just an ancient tradition, but a millennia-old mechanism of power and inequality. In this video you will learn: how the varnas in Vedic times turned into thousands of jatis; why the Brahmins and Kshatriyas had power and wealth, while the Dalits fought for the right to be human; who are the untouchables; how Buddhism, Jainism and the Laws of Manu influenced society; what the British colonial government thought about the caste system and how it used it to control; why Mahatma Gandhi was against benefits for the untouchables and how his position influenced modern India; why even modern Dalit movements and political parties have not been able to completely destroy the system. 👉 We will look at why caste still determines the fate of millions of Indians in the 21st century and why this issue remains a hot topic in the world. 📌 Write in the comments: is it possible to break the system where wealth and poverty are determined at birth? https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wasmedia... - 💙💛 Support Ukrainian content and WAS   / was_ua   - Become our patron and support WAS 🔫 You can support one-time here - https://secure.wayforpay.com/donate/d...
