We are general, they are OBC (backward), we are upper caste, oh’ they come after us. We don’t realize how insensitive we can be towards others who are judged on the basis of their caste of origin. No, Sun rises everyday on time – his sunlight is for everyone. Nature never differentiates on the basis of caste, nature is God.
Casteism in ancient India was only initiated to assign duties, tasks to specific communities which today we view as different castes. Each one of us let’s ask this question to ourselves…. when we want to eat a fish, do we send our children into the sea to fetch a fish for us? No, Koli samaj people do fishing- they send their children to the sea to do fishing. Thank them.
When we want to have a nice haircut, who do we go to? You will see the best barbers in a Nhavi samaj. Do we send our children to learn how to do a haircut? No, we send our children to foreign universities to do MS. Appreciate them.
What if we are not rich enough to buy a new shoe? Who does the repair job for our shoe? A person of Chambhar samaj. Do our children know how to stitch a shoe, no. Help them.
Who protects us day and night when we enjoy festivals, movies nights, when we are in trouble, it’s the police. Who fought the Mughals? Who does agriculture in rural parts of Maharashtra? Maratha samaj. 20-30% Indian army constitutes only Marathas. Respect them.
Does each one of us know how to do business? No, so we should seek inspiration from Vaani samaj. Their children know how to do business. Learn from them.
If everyone sits in the corporate, who will do these field jobs? AI? Chat GPT? SAMAJ is built by everyone and not one specific community. We all need each other.
You never know, you may need people you overlooked, let down at some point in your life or God may suddenly lift them one day and you will not have a seat at their table.
Our purpose in life should be- whatever work God gives you never view it as small or big, work is worship and everyone is equal in the eyes of God so help and appreciate each other.
