WHAT ARE YOU?

          WHAT  ARE YOU

He is walking  for a job from the morning to this hour,.After walking more than akilometre

there is a board  at his sight..He walked  near to the notice board  and happy to read that

again he walked fastly to reach that place and achieved in his task.

   There is  a lady is in  the seat and asked few questions regarding  his  previous experiences

  and agreed to give a job order  to him

     At last before issuing  the job she asked him  which caste he belongs ?

he replied that he belonged to    xxx   caste  she reluctantly rejected and told sorry

you are not deserve for this job.

  In a frustated mood he started to walk for further..

 

I t is smallest story to describe the caste feelings divides and  kills the skilled youths

What Are You?

Yes, it makes a difference. I've begun to look at more of your work so I will be better able to understand a bit better what is really in your mind. We happen to have a relatively large community of men and women from India in my area, but the only ones I've had any contact with have been doctors or other medical specialists. I can easily guess to which caste they must have belonged in India. How ancient is this caste system which places a lid on the head of an individual regardless of knowledge or skills possessed. My suggestion to you is to keep writing along these lines. Everything like this can only have the effect of eventually blurring the distinctions of the caste system though we may not live to see it materialize. I urge you to strengthen your command of English - this will cause others to take your work more seriously. I'm going to re-read some of your work before commenting further. Will
