<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->It doesn't matter whether caste is a European invention. Bottom line, Indians are practicing casteism, not varnashrama Dharma.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Most Indians are obssessed with skin color, which reflects in numerous matrimonial ads (like wanted fair, good-looking woman), or in social situations (such as, "your baby has a good color" etc.).
<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

This behaviour is global and not limited to Indians or Pakistanis.
