High-born, low-born, untouchables. What is the caste system in India? Are people color-coded there? How do you differentiate among them?
In America we are all color-coded for ease of identification. That way you know at a glance whom to like, whom to hate. Saves a lot of getting-to-know-you time. SIGH
Actually... it seems I am incorrect! LOL roll the carpet out, it's not often I am wrong :P I thought that was what it was but apparently it's more to do with signifying that a woman is married. My last bf was half Indian. His father was very high born over there - people used to travel by foot just to walk past his house.. I should have asked him more lol but I think it's a bit too late now :P
