Ask our Portugese brethens how come they were indentured by the British when they were white and European. Ask why so many violent tribal wars in Africa that tearing the continent apart. Africans don't see themselves as Africans. Stop kidding yourself if you believe that. Tribalism and nationalism rule supreme in Africa. Their society is still hierarchical and violent. Discrimination against other tribes is rampant and at times extremely violent.

India is not perfect but it has always been an ordered society but peaceful. The caste system is dying. The gov't. of India has been fighting it for decades to end discrimination.

You are arguing what was never proposed. I never denied casteism in other cultures. I spoke to our casteism and its expression among retrabalized indians in Guyana. Do not get angry with my use of the term tribalism. I am being precise. Out of the domms, the dossas, the lohars the pillars the chamars the danglyars and at least a dozen more tribe comes the Guyanese Indian.

 

What does Africans never being a unity or whatever? India is also a recent construct as is the entire world. As for the the hierarchical nature of most societies...where have I disputed that? Lets not get adrift because India is itself a sore on the backside of the planet for many reasons no less than other places. My focus is not on India bur the Guyanese.

 

Read my post, take it apart sentence by sentence and focus on Africans and Indians as Guyanese. Other than that you would be wasting my time.
