One thing I liked when I was in pilot training at Craig AFB - the
Officer's club wasn't open for breakfast. That meant I was allowed
to eat in the dining hall - which was lots of good food fast.
I agree that the caste system is an abomination. But even in America
in business and even politics - it exists. Admittedly, we don't see
class in all of our movies (Loved _The Ruling Class_), the way Brits
do - we're not that caste ridden. (And the Brits aren't to Indian
standards).
Anybody doubt the American president's good old boy network isn't
caste?
