Let me give you an example so that you will understand those so called "upper caste hindus" you are talking about.
Lets say there are 40 people in line and the vendor says there are only 30 items he can sell. This keep happening everyday for 20 days and the rich guy is 35th person everyday, What will the "rich white asshole" do on 21st day?
It is not the culture that turns people into line cutting assholes. Its the scarcity of things that causes people to behave like that. After white men left them destitute it will take some generations to get back their humanity and surpluses. The second generation does not behave like this because they dont know what is living with limited resources does to their psyche.
A Kuwaiti social media star is facing a backlash after criticising new laws improving conditions for the country’s Filipino domestic workers.
indc saysWhat term do you suggest I use?
@indc How about "foreign invaders"? That would include, say, the Mughals, who devastated India.
To add a little balance, we should point out that these invaders tended to unify their subject countries by suppressing regional rivalries. And so India was unified by the British just like Ireland was. And then India split along religious lines just like Ireland once the British Empire was weakened.
You think british unified India?
It was british who split India on religious line.
But british bastards are on another level.
indc saysYou think british unified India?
Yes. That's what Indians say.
indc saysIt was british who split India on religious line.
It was the Muslims.

Man you are full of hate. You would make a good Muslim. Ever considered joining ISIS? Their new recruiting motto:
"Out with the bang, and in with the virgins"

I appreciate the analysis, but I'm not convinced. IMO, It has nothing to do with scarcity. Their cart is full and they are already in posse...
What's the matter with you ppl on this thread?!
This isn't some anti-Hindu forum!
What's here and now is a bunch of crazy muslims, killing ppl left and right, and you guys are fighting over religious ideologies.
No religion, country, ideology, organization, opinion, politician, celebrity, or God will be spared.

Wrong, we need allies in this fight against Muslims. As an American, I don't care for a man's faith provided that he's against the proliferation of Islam.
But british bastards are on another level. They tried to kill the spiritual strength of India. Even with muslims ruling India was number one country in regards to GDP. But british were at different level.
Buddhist and Hindu philosophy has always been fascinating and eye opening. I do see it's philosophy thriving over time.
I wonder what philosophy Islam uses, besides Jihad, Martyrdom, and violence.

If you are trying to say that Christians haven't wrecked and perpetuated large-scale violence in the name of religion, I find it difficult to believe.
They are not at all perfect, but the religion and culture that lags progress from all others, that is the most dangerous, is Islam. It's a serious problem that must be solved, and our greatest barrier to solving those problems are the liberals who won't even recognize the problem.

indc saysRegarding your comment "uppity indians of higer caste". Dont be a dick. It is not higher caste, its higher class
This is the fundamental cultural divide between Americans and Indians. The Indian immigrants I’ve known have been universally obsessed with status and class, and their pursuit of such is annoying as fuck to native born Americans. They’re unabashedly interested in self promotion, self aggrandizement, and selfish agendas. They have to make sure everyone knows of their accomplishments and anyone who is famous they have some connection to or just pestered into doing a selfie with at a concert or speaking engagement.
To Americans this is LOW CLASS behavior.
To Indians, this is them trying to assert that they are high class. And in this, they fail.
Patrick saysStrategist saysBuddhism treats them better.
Quite a lot of low-caste Indians did became Buddhist:

Around a 1000 years back, by the time Hinduism started re-assimialting back Buddhism (Hinduism's own reform movement) back into its fold, islamic invasions started. Hinduism didn't have time to re-assimilate Buddhism and Islam was this new aggressive kid on the block which ate up all the Buddhists. This is what changed history. All the regions of South/Central Asia that are Islamic today where mainly Buddhists in pre-islamic times. Iran was Zorastrian. Compared to this Dalit Buddhist movement won't even appear a...

Islam, socialism, and politicians are the most attacked and slaughtered here. It's a lot of fun.

But why would you care whether your neighbor is gay or whether a group of people thousands of miles away are following a primitive non-progressive religion? As long as your gay neighbors don't bother you and you don't bother them and as long as your "advanced" culture doesn't bother their "lagging behind" culture and vise versa, what's the problem?
Personally I think that the fundamental philosophy of major Abhramic religions (Christianity and Islam) which says that their religion is the only true way to god and hence the rest must be converted is old and archaic thinking. Thats why I said earli...
As an atheist I am tolerant of gays. I am not tolerant of human rights abuse and the violence against us all that Islam practices, and neither should any one else. In an age of WMD, we need to take proactive steps to control this dangerous Islamic beast.

"Tolerant", can you use that term to your wife. Say I am tolerating you and see her response. Gays are not your subjects that you are "tolerating them". There is a new term "mutual respect" try to understand and use it. Respect them as humans.

Tolerance means that you can believe what you want, but you don't act with prejudice towards people who live differently than you. It's perfectly fine the way it is.
If you've married your wife, you more than tolerate her. Strangers acting in ways you think is stupid/harmful is something else.
I'll never respect a Wahabi, but I'll tolerate their presence if they behave themselves. Any government that demands I "respect" them loses my respect- and compliance.

Those who practice the caste system, need not tell others how humans should be treated.
I would not even tolerate a wahabi. What I was pointing out was one should "respect" others if they "respect" you back. Tolerating someone means you still feel superior to them.

I too dont like to use the term "white" it is too generic, but India was looted not just by british, It was also looted by dutch, french and portugese. What term do you suggest I use?

Are you sure you are not confusing between Muslims and Middle East or between Arabs and Muslims? Only a small number of Muslims live in Middle East and only a small number of Muslims are Arab. Most muslims in this world live in South and South-east Asia. As an example, consider that Indonesia has around 200 million muslims. Malasia with much smaller population has majority 60% muslim population with more religious diversity than US. Both these countries are doing fairly well. Then there are around 200 million muslims more in India - again fairly moderate population with Muslim film actors and billionaires (who got rich by starting...

WTF is going on with this business transaction?
If you paid good money for a slave, would you want them to escape?

Why only blame the Muslims here, they are just one piece of the puzzle along with Christian and Jews as far as middle east mess is concerned.

When I was studying in Ann Arbor, there was a Kuwaiti woman downstairs from me who kept an Indian slave. There is no other way to describe it. The poor slave woman was not allowed to leave the apartment, ever, and was very badly treated. Very timid. The Kuwaiti was a domineering entitled bitch. So this article sounds quite familiar.
