There is no caste on Indian ID cards, so why is no one pretending to be one?

As we all know, there is a particularly strict hierarchy in India, which is the caste system. High-caste Indians enjoy supreme resource conditions and occupy the vast majority of social wealth, while low-caste Indians can only live the most miserable life, crowded in slums, washing their hair and clothes on the street, Do the dirty work that upper caste people don't want to do. At the same time, low-caste people cannot even share water resources with high-caste people, nor can they ride in cars at the same time, etc. This is not only an inequality in social resources, but also a psychological conflict. The lower castes trampled.

However, lower castes have been receiving such unfair treatment for a long time. Even for themselves, they have long been accustomed to such treatment. The low-caste people at the bottom of the contempt chain have lost the enthusiasm to fight against their unequal treatment. They are busy with the hard work and have no more energy to fight for themselves.

Some people may have questions, in India, how can others tell what caste a person is? After all, the caste system is not written on the ID card. How do Indians differentiate between them? Since people of lower castes are treated unequally everywhere, and people of upper castes enjoy various privileges, will there be people of lower castes pretending to be of higher castes? If he wants to impersonate, what preparations does he need to make?

The first reaction of many people is to tell whether a person is of a high caste or a low caste by looking at his skin color. It is generally believed that people with dark skin are from lower castes, and vice versa. However, although this method is suitable for most situations, it is not very accurate. Among Indians, some people from lower castes have fair skin, while some people from upper castes have dark skin.

The Aryans were originally located in the Ural Mountains of Europe. After they invaded India, they defined themselves as high caste people, while the indigenous people who originally lived in India were defined by them as low caste people. As we all know, the Aryans basically have the same appearance as the Europeans we see today.

They have high nose bridges and fair skin. Originally, everyone identified their caste based on their skin color. But as time goes by, people's genes are slowly changing, affecting people's skin color. Nowadays, some dark-skinned Indians are from high castes. For example, Tamils ??have darker skin, but they are actually the highest-ranking Brahmins. Therefore, it is not very accurate to identify caste by the depth of skin color.

To observe an Indian’s caste, you can also observe it through his occupation. As mentioned before, people of lower castes can only do some dirty and hard work, which people of higher castes are not willing to do. What’s even more frustrating is that this kind of work is still passed down from generation to generation. So some people joke that in India, reincarnation is a technical job. If you are born into a low-caste family, you will definitely face a hard life. The saying "Knowledge changes destiny" does not seem to apply in India, because it is difficult to make academic breakthroughs in the educational environment in India. Even if one becomes a top student after passing five levels, it still cannot change his original caste. .

In India, high-caste men can marry lower-caste women. But there is a problem, that is, after a low-caste woman marries, her original caste will not be promoted, and her children will still be of a low caste. Only when a man from a high caste marries a woman from a high caste will the child be born to a high caste. It seems that the joke made by netizens is correct. Rebirth in India is really important.

If people from lower castes want to hide their caste, this is actually not very realistic. First of all, his skin color must not be too dark, otherwise he will be too special and easily attract people's attention. The second is that this person must conceal all his experiences, because his experiences reveal his growing conditions, which also reveals his caste information. Finally, others may learn about his caste through other members of his family, so the only option is to modify the caste of the entire family. Obviously, this is an impossible task.
