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!!

    Hello Bree,

    My name is Aaron. I’m an English language teacher in Mexico City. I found your blog, I think, from Jo McLeay’s blog: The Open Classroom. As I read your post, I was thinking about a blog I read from a person who lives in India. I thought I would pass it along to you, perhaps you will find it useful. She often discusses poverty. This the search result from her site on the keyword “poverty”

    She also writes a bit about the caste system.

    I hope you enjoy her blog. She’s a really interesting writer in my humble opinion.

    Best regards!
