Ahem, Mythology,
Mythology is a well built fiction with a good mix of logic.This has been the reason of its sustenance.
I intend to explain a story which tells about how feudalism and caste ism came into existence.
There were four sects of people, who had contention w.r.t society. Brahmans, Kshatriya's, Sudra's and Vaishyas.
Brahmans had a point that they have the right to teach and nobody else has the right to do the same. Kshatriya's took the right to fight and leading the land. Sudra's took the right of doing respectable occupations like farming,sunaar and lauhar etc.Finally the last guy was left out of dal and hence was called dalit, etymologically, the existence of the name came from these roots.This example was portrayed by a successful Kshatriya farmer who had a "surpanch" from a dalit group sitting at his door steps on no where , where as we were held high and proud with this mythological fable.
The banality of how well the society is progressing has been my repercussion towards Rural immersion.Though it was a tour which had no bounds w.r.t. time, it did provide me an insight about how banal the things were portrait. The poverty was abysmally high with very low levels of satisfaction, but still the people who held government positions intend to prove the fact that the society is towards progress.
