The Caste System

This video shows how people in India live under the caste system. The caste system assigns each person to level in society based on who his parents are. Each person is born in to his caste, and no one can change his caste. There are four different levels or castes in the system. The priests or religious scholars who belong to the top caste are the most respected of all people in this system. The people who are in the lowest level are called untouchables. They don't have any rights and they are considered to be worth nothing. They can't own any Property. They are treated worse than any other group in the caste system. There was a landlord who was in the second level highest caste. This leader had untouchable-workers whom he asked to clean up human and animal feces. The untouchables are like slaves. Nobody cares about them or about how they feel. The other groups in the caste system think that the only jobs untouchables should have are the dirty ones. For example, they often work cleaning bathrooms. In the video some of the untouchables didn't want to show their faces because they were ashamed about whom they were.
