if you are pakistani/north indian which caste are u and do you think its important

I can't believe British born Pakistanis still believe in the caste system. I'm Pakistani and think it's a load of bull5****.

Same. Im a Muslim I dont really believe on what level your at.

I thought they meant even less in Pakistan than they did in India, considering it's came from Hindu traditions? If someone is jatt, choudhry, Raja, Masalli(those are the only ones I know of) it really does not bother me whatsoever. The irony of course is that a lot of Pakistani's will have Choudhry by their name when they're really not.

I was in Pakistan and some random guy asked me what caste I was. I didn't understood what he meant, as I'd never heard of the word caste in punjabi, nor do I remember it. He then explained what they were, and then I clicked he was talking about castes. I said "oh, Im jatt then I think" He said with a smug smile that he's a Raja. Why does it even matter?

I do like the fact that some kids thought I was cursed or something though. Quite funny

hi just noticed theres a large asian community and i realised that there are no stastics on castes in britain sorry i missed out on an important option neither of the above

none, they are all equally retarded..... We don't need this kind of tribalism in britain, especially not when it leads to further segregation, honuor killings etc..

because he has de monies and your lot are slum dwellers! Or something like that, it's usually the case in these tribal matters.

Bunty, if you've read up there aren't too many people who really care about the caste system-especially Pakistani's when the population is almost entirely Muslim(well at least British Pakistani's don't tend to associate with the caste system any way)

To be fair, it could have been because both my eyes turned really red due to hayfever :biggrin:

You're mistaken dude.... although the islamic faith doesn't promote tribalism and its negative aspects, the pakistani muslims still value these traditions (even in britain- the vast majority of british pakistanis originae from one place in pakistan; not sure of the name, perhaps you know)

the liberal, western modernists of pakistani heritage may not, but a lot of brit pakistanis still have a tribal mentality...

All the options in this survey are tribes and regional affiliations, not castes. Here are the caste groups:

Brahmin (not represented in the list)
Ksatriya (Rajputs would come under here)
Vaisya (not represented in the list)
Sudra (Jatts would come under here)

Bunty fair enough, but the people here don't seem to care really about caste

people who say they don't care say it because they are at the bottom for example ask someone what their A level grades are if they got As they won't stop going on and on about them but if they got Es they won't care so i think it is safe too assume everyone who says they don't care are in the bottom caste LOL i figured you out
