what humiliation did the lower castes have to face?
Answers
Different people from 'lower' castes have different opinion/views. These views differ with different castes, generation, region(North & south India), knowledge of a person & personal experience.
But if we generalize, these feels can be:
Those who respect 'upper' castes: but this respect is more because of tradition & fear. This behaviour is more common in older generation, who are 60+ in age.
Those who hate 'upper' castes: this is mostly because of their personal experience & sometimes because of their parents' personal experience.
Those who are bitter towards 'upper' castes: these are mostly educated middle class people, who are annoyed by the fact that Caste System is invisible for most 'upper' caste people.
Those who imitate 'upper' caste people: these people seek upward social mobility by imitating the rituals and social behaviours/practices of 'upper' castes.
Those whose are indifferent towards 'upper' castes: these are mostly younger generation, they are not indifferent in absolute sense but their opinion depends more on the behaviour of 'upper' caste person he/she is interacting to.
But I've find that most of the 'lower' caste people have a feeling of distrust towards the 'upper' caste people and they are in constant fear of being socially boycotted. That is why most of the answer on qoura on caste system by them are anonymous.
