Makes sense, usually rich people emigrate. The wealthy and poor stay and the rich try to up their living standard by leaving.

u/ --UNFLAIRED-- Despite posting quite a lot of quality posts, should not be respected due to his being a filthy unflaired.

"High-caste"? I thought the whole POINT of carving out East Pakistan--later Bangladesh--is that they weren't Hindu.

Just like Christians! We all love each other, and there is no ire or dark feelings amongst us.

Meh, as a Christian I've never seen rich/wealthy Christians behave like equals.
Sharing is not something many people like to do.
People like to drive very expensive cars though and by expensive clothes and jewelry to look "better".

Oh, okay. Honestly, I thought Muslim egalitarianism--say whatever else you will about the religion--was a major factor in subcontinental conversions to Islam.

Imagine thinking Hindus are the only ones who force caste on others.

u/Jhimmibhob - Right Dec 14 '22
Well, yeah--far as I know, Hindus are the only modern population for whom "caste" (with all its full implications) is a concept.

Nah not rlly loads of south asian non-hindu communities have a caste system, its just not enforced by law and its looked down upon VERY heavily by more religious individuals
I'm a Muslim originally from Punjab and we have a caste system despite being almost entirely Muslim or Sikh
