How he came from the bottom. that s right. ..he got to the top. through the dint of education, hard work and a faith in constitutional solutions to the problems. and what you seem to be saying is that, you know what? india can be a society, and is becoming a society, where caste no longer matters. i would put it to you, on the contrary, it s a society where caste still matters. far too much. ..profoundly. no, i agree with that. in fact, the problem is that whereas people like nehru and ambedkar of that generation would probably have thought that caste would fade away, it instead got more entrenched because it was used as an instrument for political mobilisation. now, there are parties who openly campaign on the basis of caste appeal, and we re seeing as a result that the politics of identity, rather than the politics of performance, have overtaken much of india s political landscape. do you think you really understand india today? 0h, ido. when it comes to either ....

First times ever today, modi had to face a group of reporters and take a question about that. there are many human rights groups who say that your government has discriminated against religious minorities and sought to silence its critics. reporter: he denied all of it. absolutely no discrimination neither on the basis of caste, creed, age. reporter: president biden took questions too, defending his decision this week to describe china s president xi jinping as a dictator. china called his comments absurd and irresponsible. saying what i think is the facts with regard to the relationship with china, it s just not something i m going to change very much. reporter: officials in beijing were so upset about the president s use of the term dictator that they summoned the u.s. ambassador so they can lodge a complaint in person. president biden doesn t usually ....

That the politics of identity, rather than the politics of performance, have overtaken much of india s political landscape. do you think you really understand india today? 0h, ido. when it comes to either the importance of hindutva and hindu nationalism or whether it comes to the importance of caste, because you said this not long ago, you said, i ve never practised the caste system. i ve never believed in it. i never ask someone what their caste is, even when someone wants to come and apply for a job as my cook. now, to many people s ears, that s going to sound like you re a member of an elite who really is out of touch with the reality of what happens in your own country. the fact that prejudice exists is known in every society, ijust don t happen to have it. but i was a son of a product of the nationalist generation who dropped his own caste name in college. we never mentioned caste or religion when my friends came home to play. but a member of a relatively exclusive indian elite. ....
