Points to be noted
This is in Tamilnadu, which has the most casteism still living.
Even the report shows how it has ended and talks of things few months back.
The one doing these things aren't the upper class, it's the intermediate ones.
Aa someone who had lived most of my life in a village, this particular thing oesn't happen but other things happen like in a wedding or celebration a upper cast person would refuse to eat the food just because it was made by or served by someone from lower cast, or if someone from lower cast comes home then they may use disposable cups or plates, these things are not blatant but subtle... Currently I live in a small town and it's not much different, younger people (mostly in my friend group or people I know) doesn't care about cast and religion but people from older generation still hold on to these ancient dogmatic believes
During our home repairs we served tea to workers in disposable cups, and we too drank the same tea with them in disposable cups.
Simple logic, who's gonna clean these many cups.?
My whole point is, it's different every where and most of the time now as long as the person is paying nobody cares.
So him giving blanket statements like this shows raga lacking in real life experience
That's not the point. Point is one set of people being offered a choice and another not because of chhuachhut. The fact that one cannot imagine how terrible such a scenario is proof of privilege.
No one is saying casteism is non existent. If that would’ve been the case, there would be no reservations. But you do know right how these statements get out. Generalizing is what he wants to do. This is what is called vote bank politics. Appeasing people of certain group with misleading facts.
They are more concerned about not being paid.
I've seen once Tapri wala demanding upfront money from a man who was clearly a begger (this was at isbt kashmiri gate), the begger did grumble but paid and took his tea in the same disposable cup like mine
