Caste

Caste - han, I thought it was uniquely Indian phenomenon. And when I found out that many twitterati had read the book and wrote positive reviews on it, I was intrigued and started reading it.

The book is good. The author has analyzed the 2016 fiasco of USA and its aftermath using the caste system.

The white population in USA is upper caste. And they are feeling threatened with even some predictions that they will be a minority. And to make matters worse, a black president is voted to power is very successful too. And also feel the others - black and brown population need to be shown their place because whites are always the ruling class, they are a superior race.

And when Trump stands for election with his promise to make america great again, that is whites great again, they ignore all his follies. Insulting of media, his utter disrespect for women, his complete lack of experience in politics, everything. He is going to teach other people their place. Let us vote him to power they decided and they did. 

And we have all seen the ridiculous decisions he made when in power. And to make matters worse, the covid pandemic happened. How many of the deaths in that country are the result of his mismanagement. 

Despite all these, watching all his blunders, people still voted for him. And they want to take over the capitol building when he did not get elected. 

Now let me add few my own thoughts. Some philosopher said there are two types of people, people with ruler mentality and people with slave mentality. I think most of us belong to the second category. So we absolutely don't mind an autocrat ruling over us, look at our leader, how strong he is. Look at him, he is singlehandedly crushing all of us. So powerful!!
