No discussion of India is complete without dragging caste into it, just like no discussion of Germany is complete without the holocaust.

However, unlike the holocaust "Caste" and the "Caste system" originates in Europe. It is time that the textbooks are updated to reflect reality and not carry on a colonial-evalangical propaganda.

Caste matters everywhere: schools, jobs or life at large

Not every discussion of Germany needs to bring up the Holocaust, just like not every discussion of India needs to mention caste.

It was a joke, because every thread on hn about India, has a motivated group bringing out caste.

Just like every Hollywood movie involving Germany, has to have a hitler reference.
