I recommend people here talking about indian caste system to read Ambedkar's essential works like Caste in India and Who were the shudras if you are really into the caste system and hope you guys drop this topic from now

I think we should be done with caste for now.

In summary, caste is still a big problem in India, and it's very difficult to eliminate.

Structurally, it means India will be internally divided and unable to develop as much as it could.

Could the moderators allow a separate thread titled:
CASTE FACTOR IN INDIA AND IMPLICATIONS.
A very interesting discussion, but there is much more to discuss.
This aspect of Indian culture has vital implications on India's political structure, regional power balance and above all defense capabilities.
Example: Sections of three key Indian Army Sikh regiments in Northern India mutinied killing their officers in 1984.
Knowing why is important.

If the moderators allow I have started a new thread.
An interesting question:
Why is the Indian social media discussing the betrayal by a "Muslim " regiment in the Indian Army when no such regiment exists? Why are retired army officers protesting about this news? Why would Indians be undermining the morale of their own armed forces?

I could explain this if no else wants to.
Me too. People crave what they lack most. People who are incredibly weak and incompetent often have wild fantasies of total dominance over their adversaries which they have no chance against in the real world just like a person dying of thirst in the desert imagines oases of pure drinking water while staring at burning sand.

please do
So at this time of the year India ( mainly Eastern India) celebrates Durga Puja ( also celebrated in Bangladesh by a section of the population).
It is a 10 day festival in which is supposed to commemorate the victory of "good" over "evil". The Goddess Durga in various incarnations battled a
Demon Maheshasur for 10 days . Each time the demon revived but in her final form riding a lion she killed the demon who was riding a buffalo.
The idol diorama usually shows the goddess spearing the demon while the lion mauls and disables the buffalo.
In THIS version the demon is depicted as Xi Jinping and the lion has bitten off his head.
This is not the first time these idols have been modified to have a political content. Usually the demon is shown with a goatee beard and skull cap symbolizing Muslims and once way back the demons features were sculpted to resemble a PLA soldier.
In short the message of the diorama is :
Just as the Goddess Durga slayed the demon Maheshasur so shall she slay
Xi Jinping,
