India - A Love Story (Caminho das Indias)

Have you watched this Brazilian produced award-winning soap opera? Highly controversial and typically Indian-centric with lots of scenes that highlighted India's social stratification caste system's values and restrictions. 


Hmm… India - I'm always intrigued by their dressing, food, dances and music. Though I'm not a fan of Indian food, I hope I can visit New Delhi someday. 


Back to the serial, they have the most beautiful Indian-Brazilian cast on earth. Though it was dubbed in Portugese, it was re-dubbed and edited in English for countries who uses no Portugese. I'm so glued to TV just looking at their angelic visages, alluring eyes, flawless skin and sharp features. U ain't know no beauty till you've watched this.

Determined by birth and parentage, 

there is almost no way to change an 

individual's distinctive and oppressive caste. 

Caste is evidently prevalent in India.

It is social scrutiny, racism plus discrimination.

Sad thing.

I'm sure this unfair system will be abolished

through changing times and education. 

I wonder what will we become if 

we have caste system in Singapore.

(I've just recalled Slumdog Millionaire.)

The Dalits are the outcast and so called 'Untouchables'.

Below is an interesting article about the social issues of the caste system.

Why have we banished our own brethens?
