World War 2!!
 
1. What was it like to be an evacuee?
The lower class kids (poor kids) thought it was great because they were going up a class (staying with richer people). But the richer kids who got evacuated thought it was horrible, because they had to stay with people who weren’t as rich as their family, they ran away and things like that.
 
2. What was the diet of people like during the war?
The people in the war needed tokens for food, and anything that they wanted to buy, they had to get each token stamped when they bought something.
3. What was it like in the blitz in 1940?
32 thousand people were killed in the blitz. It was a very sad and depressing time.

Why there are differant casts in india

Rich and Poor!! 

The cast system in India has been illegal scince 1948. There are three different stages in the Indian casting line. You can do things to go down but there is no possible way you can go up. There is the top group, who are the rich people who have the right to do anything and get really good, well paying jobs. Then there is the middle group, they get all the second hand stuff and can get alright jobs. Then there is the bottom people a.k.a, the untouchables. They have no food, no clean water, no clothes, no where to bath, they have no contact with anyone else apart from themselves. 

I’ve been researching this topic because, i think the caste system horrible and it needs to change!!
