Very relevant

We need more of such hard hitting documentaries because Caste system is very much here and unless we try to target this evil from many fronts, it is going to be as alive as it is now. I am happy that dalits/advasis are becoming more assertive with time, they are substantially contributing through art and literature in making this inhumanity visible to all.

A good well funded propaganda on Indian society.

First during the British occupation of India they encouraged and propagated the Caste system, and when it heavily intrigrated with Hinduism and replaced Varna by merit system, then british propagated and made it a weapon to divide India and Hinduism into into 3,000 castes and 25,000 sub-castes.

Must watch

It is really a eye opening documentary. A must watch for the developing young country, where modern education resides with trivial preachings. People say that there should not be reservation based on caste system. Why those people never say that there should not be any caste system. This video shows all that, which is actually happening around us, and the modern generation sits blindfolded, complaining about minor issues. All those, who complain about all the bad things in system, please consider that there are some things that are far severe. There are issues that need to be seen. There are problems that no more can be ignored. Nice work guys. I really appreciate the work you have done.
