> Others said people from marginalized castes lack the education to properly interpret Hindu scriptures around castes.

"If you're one of them, you're too ignorant to understand why we're right". Absolutely repulsive.

Ok my reaction too but we should temper it in that we're hearing someone reporting what someone reported that they heard. It could be utterly baseless, it could be missing a load of context, it could be distorted beyond reason.

"Others said..." Also a them kinda deal right there.

Do you think this isn't a prevalent idea in US society as well? It's just a reframing of the current DNC platform using exotic words like "caste".
