13:4) Mind that, parents become glad when their son has gotten job.
13:5) Slaves have turned into service-holder.

Re: A necktie-worn man is like a roped cow
What quaint wording for a manifesto, Marx was far more eloquent! I have a feeling that Hindu society is on the verge of a class war, judging from the resentment expressed in this comment, and also the derogatory reference to the sacred cow as a slave, and the necktie-worn man (upper-caste bourgeois I suppose)as the servant/slave to the religious hierarchy. Oh well, I suppose they have to start somewhere. It's sort of like 18th century western society all over again, damn!
Re: A necktie-worn man is like a roped cow
I totally disagree with you on this topic. There is no slavery in the Hindu culture.It is just that they are very conservative about their religion and wants to practice that alone.

True. But a least a cow can wander in the field to graze where she will.
BUT a man with a religion is like a slave chained to a wheel.

Re: A necktie-worn man is like a roped cow
A man born of a shit-shoveller is a man whose only prospect is to spend his life shovelling shit. That is worse than slavery. A least some slaves can dream about manumission, whilst others in history have been able to buy their freedom. Such in not the case in a caste system.bennycrab wrote:I totally disagree with you on this topic.
