Think you're better than me?

I have been avoiding this topic for a long time now. I cannot mention how many times people are addressed as and judged upon their last names and castes. We are all brown people. Does it matter who is a freaking Khatri, Baniya, Jatt, Rajput, Brahmin etc.? Yeah, to some empty-headed, uncultured dimwits, it does. But here.. living in a North American society? Really?

Throughout high school, guys used to call me "Khanna" or "Khatri." Why is my caste being associated with anything that you have to do with me? I come from two religious backgrounds, Sikhism and Hinduism. My dad is a Kshatriya and mom is a Jatti. And I don't give two shits about what people think of that. I respect my religion a lot. For me, my religion is a combination of both because I am accustomed to pray in both a Mandir and a Gurudwara. I went to a Christian school for eight years, and I am used to praying in a Church as well. What's your point? Why is the whole 'Jattism' deal blown out of proportion?

First of all, this is not India. Second of all, you are not living in a colonial era. There are no peasants and lords. Living in Canada, it doesn't matter if you are a freaking Shudra or a Brahmin, you can have the same job, the same house, the same car and the same income. Your caste is notably irrelevant. SOME people (fucking idiots who think being a higher caste either gives you a set of three testicles or some undefined superpowers, precisely in their own heads) think they are superior than others and look down upon other castes.

I don't want a racial forum on here where all of you come attacking me. I am not saying anything about anybody's race, caste or creed. I am saying ONE thing here. LOOK AT OTHERS EQUALLY! Learn to be inclusive of all races. Yes, I don't agree with the Hindu caste system as well; it is unfair. But Guru Nanak Dev Ji started Sikhism INSPIRED to eradicate that castism, not to increase it. The whole point of creating Sikhism was to get rid of the Hindu Caste system to design a religion that is inclusive of everybody. Ever wonder why Langar is open to EVERYONE? This is so common sense. Please educate yourselves. If you don't know anything about your own religion, do not open your mouth to downgrade other people and their beliefs. I know how to read the Hanuman Chalisa, and I have taken an equal amount of interest to learn the 'Pehli Paudi' for 'Japji Sahib.' My parents have been the most amazing educators to me and my brother for both religions.

I am talking about people who get Khanda tattooed over their body, hanging in their cars, claim to be superior (otherwise known as 'fukre') and in reality, know NOTHING about their religion. Flaunting your religious symbol and your last name, downgrading other castes makes you look even lower. And their drive to PROVE with the most stupendous reasons, that their religion IS above all others. Wow. Where are you people coming from? I am half-Sikh, and I know WAY more than you about YOUR acclaimed religion, in detail. Have you ever even stepped foot in a temple to do some 'seva?' Do you even know about the notion of seva? How it started? Which Guru started it? Do you know ANYTHING?

Something that pisses me off the most.. GENERALIZATION. All these weird ass fobs in my class at Humber - if you are a Hindu (i.e. my last name makes it obvious) they will start calling you 'Brahman' or in their pendu accent, 'Bahmani.' All Hindus are not Brahmins. Like PLEASE educate yourselves. I can checkout multiple books for you from the library, and you should renew them a good three-four times to your satisfaction, till you actually FIGURE something out.

This post is dedicated to the biggest fob I have ever met in my life, with the pendu-est thinking possible, the one who thinks being Jatt grants you all the luxuries and superiorities of life. Man, you need some SERIOUS growing up! To the guy, who looks at life through a straw. Not even a regular straw, the teeny-tiny straw that used to come with Frooti in your country. Yeah, that fucking narrow.

P.S. This isn't 1947. It is 2012. Let history be history. Create something better TODAY to let the blood-shed just be a bad memory. Don't reinforce those notions to create hatred while LIVING in North American communities. If you wanna play this dirty game, go back to your country.
