What is my comrades stance on CASTEISM in India, Japan, and other countries. And also FEUDALISM in many countries around the world? How to eradicate it? What do you think about struggles and works and thoughts of Leaders like Dr. Ambedkar, are their thoughts discussed in other countries where such a inhuman system is prevalent?

    I am from India (hindu origin), in India its not due to feudalism. Casteism is inherently in hinduism that date belongs to even before Buddha . It can be said Buddha was convinced that men of India are perverted by casteist teachings of religion and have totally corrupted the entire religion (true dharma). Most Buddhists died down after the fall of Asokan and gupta empire and then invasion of Khalji dynasty. Casteism is a horrendous system in rural India, here upper caste men rule lower caste majority familes by brutal force and also inability of lower caste people to organize themselves beyond religious hatred for inter caste parties and Muslims. There are regular cases of lower caste women being raped and killed (hathras case) and their rapists getting freed by the government. Villages and North India is very much into this system and honor killings can be possible if a loved couple does an inter caste marriage. In India, the sad story is left has died out from most part of the society after 1990s. Hindutva nationalists have fostered hatred for liberals, communists and people who spoke against caste system like Ambedkar. It’s a de facto fascist country where Muslims are 2nd class citizens and hindus have a deformed idea of history, reject everything except hindutva linked vulgarism and try to appropriate the hindu reformers onto their hindutva category. I will say the rise of fascism in India is very much tied to the upper caste rule and their class.

    The revolution in India will be lead by the workers and the lowest classes, and they will strip themselves of their chains at last.

    It a system that was designed to divide up the population into groups and not allow them to interact to have divided population that the rulers and priests could control through the caste system as this fuled hatered toward everybody not of same or upper caste and allowed them the legitimate control that was needed to control masses. This is was which Dr. Ambedkar were fighting as the country and people of india were incapable to be free unless they are free of the casteism. Brithish used these divisions to cement themselves as the colonial power through the casre divisions and becoming masters of india.

    This system of Casteism was as bad for the people subjected to it as was the Racism for the Black people of united states.
