Kandy was highly regarded because Kandy was a stronghold of Sinhalese for centuries and it was the Final Kingdom to fall.. so there you go... there's one reason invented to discriminate <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /> and then there were *Sudda* given names and status in the early days... so there you go if Kandy was not enough reason then there was another one, and then came "Walau Palanthiya" and what not <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />So in Sri Lanka it always changed with time, but also we must observe that some of these are almost extinct already, like how many still call them "Valau" caste, so it comes and goes.... and I see improvement in Sinhalese community than in Tamils, when I was in SL I thought probably Sri Lankan and Indian Tamils only must be making a huge fuzz about it... But even here in Malaysia, Singapore the situation is the same, infact Sri Lankan Tamils call themselves "Ceylonese" (LMAO WTF is that? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />) as if they cannot live without a caste!So yes! we are not completely out of it yet, but we are not the worst.. at least what we think is a caste does not effect us in day to day life, like in India do you remember once there was a BIG ISSUE while trying to grant university admission to low caste people? <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />, but apart from all this there's the universal rich and poor issue <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/rolleyes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Rolleyes    :rolleyes:" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> this is a caste system on its own and the example you gave me about the repairman and the car owner could be an ideal situation for this, simply because the guy owns the car or drive it, everything else become irrelevant! <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />, I dont knoe whther to call it a unique caste system because its everywhere <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/lol.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="LOL    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Agreed 100%, its just pure BULLSHIT!!</blockquote>
