Sagot :
Coucou!
Alors je mets les corrections en gras ;)
First, I will talk about the inequalities between citizens, then we will have a look at the caste system. This Indian system being quite complex, it divides society into four hierarchical groups. The castes have their origins in Hinduism, but have also been influenced by the development of society.
The word caste comes from the Portuguese "casta", which means pure or unmixed. It was therefore introduced by the colonizers. The principle of a caste actually comes from two concepts: varna ("color", "nature" or "rank" ) and jati ("birth"). You cannot marry a person belonging to another caste, nor can you change your assigned group.
The society is divided into different roles. There are Brahmans, who provide religious services. Below them are the Kshatriyas, also known as warriors. Then the Vaishyas, who are at the origin of the cultivating owners. Finally the Shudras being small farmers and breeders.
Dalits are excluded from this system because they are in charge of the “dirtiest” reported tasks, which includes manual cleaning of toilets in rural areas (prohibited since 2013), washing clothes or sweeping the streets.
In rural areas, there's still discrimination against dalits ( majuscule ou non? ). For example, they are only allowed in certain schools, creating injustice amongst the population. To this day there are 170 million Dalits in India and more than 40% survive on less than $ 2 a day.
It is a true hierarchical and unequal division of society. ( pas nécéssaire, sinon il faut élaborer un peu plus pour garder cette phrase. )
Voilà, j'espère t'avoir aidé(e) et bonne chance!
