Yeah, what you have thought is right. The meanings are same. Eradicating racism is a challenge likewise eradicating casteism is a challenge.

However, the challenge of racism is similar to the challenge of casteism not same. Racism is not same as casteism. Casteism is restricted to some parts of the world, especially in India but racism is a global phenomenon. They are not same because of the extent, degree, origin and consequences of the phenomena varies. However, they are similar due to the fact that their origin and practice is because of ignorance, the ensuing discrimination and hatred is also similar.

DoctorIf However, they are similar due to the fact that their origin and practice is because of ignorance,

I do not agree with you because in ancient times society was divided in 4 castes according to the profound nature of humans and according to the spirituality of each caste. There was the caste of Brahmans, who were some kind of priests, completely devoted to the spiritual world and completely detached from this material world. Their life and understanding were different than the life and understanding of other castes and they couldn't belong to another caste. They were Aryans, elevated, (gold) spirits. Then was the caste of Kshatryas, the warriors, (silver) who were mediators between the Aryans and the others. They were here to protect the spiritual kingdom. Then the caste of Vaishyas or merchants (copper) and the caste of Shudras or agricultural labourers (iron). They all lived together without any exploitation, just everybody lived the best he could according his own nature. There was also another "caste", that was not a real caste but represented people who could not be involved in any caste. Today we know them as Gypsies. Plato described these 4 castes in his book "The Republic" where the perfect republic represents the rule of the "gold" caste. It is called "gold" according to qualities of gold that these people represented: incorruptible and always the same, as qualities of the perfect spirit.

This meaning is lost and all we can find today are 4 casts that are divided according to their social status and personal wealth and not according to their moral qualities and often those who belong to the highest caste have the lowest spirit and cannot show anything but contempt for the rest of the society.... But this is really one very long story.

I am really sorry Ms. Denisa, I don't have enough time to answer to your explanation. Besides, your interpretation and understanding of caste is irrelevant to the contemporary realities. In the ancient times people believed that Sun revolved round the earth, that's called ignorance.

I suppose, the discussion should focus on the meanings of the two different sentences posted by Mr. Nagariya
