Interesting. Also sounds quite complicated. I really don’t know anything about India obviously, but I always hear that is such a beautiful country. Neither Europe nor USA should be a model for India. We have destroyed almost anything natural here and all is about increasing economics of the big global companies. If the market is only about monopolists only, it is like a never-ending communism, but without any social component in it anymore. A huge doom loop into apocalypse. Just like cancer spreading over the globe.
So maybe you should try to love your people more, regardless of their caste, to disconnect from the global apocalypse and make your country the garden you mentioned earlier. Btw. Bayer is the new Monsanto now. Our insects are dying, nobody cares.
Yea I read up and watched some documentaries from vpro from Netherlands about this and other connected issues. But I find it hard to believe that natural things are being destroyed, everytime I visit Europe I am struck by it’s rolling fields and cold weather and sweet smelling air and great beer and food. Traffic is close to nil and everything is very orderly, no chaos anywhere. Children are respectful especially in Germany and neighbours are quiet and don’t big each other. To me that is heaven ! No wonder I am madly in love with Europe,love can be blind sometimes… I need to research more on this though about the future of Europa.
Btw if you want to see how casteism is played out in mid rural to semi urban India highlighting everything from poverty to corrupted bureaucracy, inter caste love, real life kidnapping, violence and politics and how it affects the regular Joe, watch this movie it came out this month (Dec 2017…) and I saw it last week, I would say the portrayal is very realistic and I give this movie 5 stars for realism.
It’s called ‘Mukkabaaz’. Or ‘The Brawler’ in English. It’s the story inspired by two Rio Olympics 2016 medal winners from India and its almost anecdotal as to the kind of shit they had to wade through for years before they could make it to the world stage. ‘How politics is played in India’, this is a very good watch. I wonder if one can find English subtitles just yet since it’s a very new movie. I will try to post one later.

For a Godfather status crime biopic, watch ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ parts 1 and 2 for a gritty and brutal action and cultural critique about life in the state Bihar on India and one it’s notorious gangs.

Both the movies are directed by Anurag Kashyap who has other kick ass movies under his belt which I really enjoy, mostly for its dialogues and realism.
(Btw my prowess in Hindi is as good as my fluency in English and my friends and more importantly even my enemies(they don’t lie about this) do tell me that debating or arguing with me is nigh impossible , hehe, which proves that language is most definitely not a barrier, when I master French too I will have the same reaction!!)
