What Is the Caste System in Indian Heritage?
The caste system is a human rights violation system of discrimination, that is used in Asia, West Africa, in the Middle East and other parts of the globe. It is a system whereby people in Indian societies are segregated and discriminated against as “untouchables” (also referred to as “Dalit”), often based on the color of their skin, and designated by birth from the higher-ups in that society. If a person is born to a lower caste, then that individual is unable to advance in the societies that adhere to a strict caste system. In other countries such as in India, lower ranking caste members suffer indignities, have land forcibly taken from them and perpetually economically exploit the lowest caste members. Lower caste members have their choice of occupation restricted by birth, and this tradition can extend to employers in other countries who follow these strict societal rules.
Indian Heritage Discrimination and Retaliation in the Workplace Based on the Caste System
It has come to light that some employers who follow and believe in the basics of the caste system will use these outdated modes of thinking to discriminate against members of the company, who are deemed by the employer to be in a lower caste. When this happens, there will be injustices practiced on the employees of the supposed lower caste, whereby they will be routinely discriminated against and treated “less than” as compared to other team member, colleagues or coworkers.
