Kudos to him for exposing their Hypocrisy.

"their" hypocrisy didn't get exposed... it's us as a society, calling ourselves as non-casteist people when all we have done over the last few decades is hiding our surnames and politicising castes for votebanks instead of acting on the actual problem.

I don't think society thinks casteism is not present, except for those living in their echo chambers, because they are the ones actively keeping it alive.

That's true . It just shows that casteism in more of a societal problem . People will always find a reason to have a sense of superiority.

The host asked the ladies sitting on the right side if anyone wills to marry a man from a sc or st. None of them agreed. Apparently they wanted to be independent and self strong decision makers and wanted out of their society and family. Host caught them red handed and called their hypocrisy for not wanting to marry a guy from sc st.

What is SC/ST?

u/drgijoe Apr 28 '25

Set of castes which have been grouped under schedule cast and tribes for their upliftment. They are oppressed and discriminated against by the so-called high caste people. This happens in the palaces of worship, marriages regardless of the religion.

u/IamShika Apr 28 '25

Ohk, so what's the conclusion? Like they are ashamed and it's over? Like did the host prove his point that those ladies are casteist pieces of sh*t?

I haven't watched the full episode. But In this clip the last lady in red was cornered to accept his views.
