Out the Caste

Caste census, there is no consensus

Progress or regress issue has become contentious.

Modern India can’t unshackle her cast

Into the 21^st century, wants to ride on her past

Her children’s future set on their birth

To which caste they belong, until their death.

Privileges and progress decided by their karma

Centuries-old society caught up in a rut of her actors in cast drama.
