Question.1032 - What role, would you say, race, caste, and social class played in the society you grew up in? How might you compare this to the role it played in this unit’s readings?
Answer Below:
From my observation and experience, I have retrospected illogical propositions that the caste system has put people to suffer and suppress their insurrection to seek logic and rationality of being less regarded for what they serve. The de facto caste system has abused labor by paying them minimal wages by rationalizing their racial and caste status. To my wonder, what concerns me the most is the lack of healthy criticism from those other than the victimized community, race, or class. In retrospect, the behavior of unfair bureaucrats goes unquestioned by most individuals from a similar race, caste, or class. The individuals who never question or share their healthy criticism cover the majority. This majority is silent about their expressionism and lacks democratic indulgence (Levin). This passivity endangers them, on the contrary. The lack of understanding of cause and effect puts such masses into a lethargy that they are not vulnerable to circumstances and hence be inactive against the willfulness to take part in the struggle on behalf of the vulnerable ones. Understanding the effects of studying and revoking culturally indigenous traditions with pursuits of interests that make us learn from communities with long civilizational inheritance would help us adopt a few solutions to improve our living. In this way, we can transcend the form of the existential de facto caste system. Levin, Richard M. Class Struggle, Popular Democratic Struggle and the South African State.
