Explanation:
What does preferring to keep servants do to us Indians? It does three things. Before we start on those I would like to qualify that word ‘preferring’ because it could be argued that we only keep servants because of economic reasons. The evidence doesn’t show that. Even Indians with modest incomes keep them because physical work, specifically cleaning, is looked down upon in our culture. We could pretend otherwise but I don’t want to.
The first thing servanting (I am coining this word) does is dehumanise us. Those of us who keep servants grow up being accustomed to rules that are barbaric. Those rules which all who are reading this are familiar with and practice. What our servants may eat, when they may eat, what they may eat out of. Where they may sit (actually mostly where they may not) and where they may accompany us and how. If we were asked to individually question each of these rules we would be appalled by them because we are all essentially moral creatures. But collectively these rules have become normalised and acceptable. Dehumanise means to deprive and deny someone of their human-ness. That is a pretty good definition of what we do and why we do it. The practice of servanting also dehumanises your servant. I think you should figure out how.
The second thing it does is perpetuate, extend, solidify and validate our caste hierarchy. Indians are condemned by birth. There is almost no chance of escaping your class here because the middle class is uninterested in supporting public expenditure on education and health. It demands (and gets) bullet trains, smart cities and more fighter planes. The poor will take care of themselves: our needs come first. I was invited to speak to the students of one of Bangalore’s elite schools last year. I spoke about the right to education, but the kids and their parents were unified in insisting that they would not tolerate reservations that brought the poor into their institution. How many of the students gathered in the hall were either scheduled caste or scheduled tribe I asked. None.
