Muslims of Indian subcontinent and casteism.

A thread:

This is especially for the UC muslims who have been denying the caste discrimination with the argument "There's nothing mentioned in Quran about caste".
Well, I'll not go very far but start from my own house.
It was around the period of 1950 something.
My great grandfather were 2 brothers.
So the 1st cousin of my grandfather did love marriage with a poor girl from lower caste.
Since he RUINED THE BLOOD PURITY, so the brother of my great grandfather took a very strict step.
Since he was a kind hearted person so he did honor kicking instead of killing, and kicked out his own son from the house.
Just to prevent entering that Bad-Zaat(sorry Grandma) in his house as daughter-in-law.
And granted only a small piece of land to build a house for themselves
They had been ignored in every decision making debates in our house, their children worked as like servants and maids in our house.
They were matter of shame for us.
They had been called "chhote mahal ke log".

So what do you people think? Ain't it caste supremacy?
Ain't it discrimination on basis of their mother's caste?

Since my own grandmother was a wise lady despite being not academic qualified.
My great grandfather handed over all the properties to her name instead of my grandfather.
After demise of my great grandfather...
My grandmother took charge and authority in her hand.
She started the reform in her own house.
She started inviting those "chhote mahal" ke relatives and whenever someone questioned her she got furious and screamed "kya chhote mahal-chhote mahal laga rakha hai?
Wo hamare ghar ki chhoti bahu hai, aur uske bachche hamare bachche hain"
She asked them to call her "badi amma" instead of "chachi".
She arranged their basic education.
She had been sharing food with them in same plate.
But that wasn't enough because nobody from my village
or nearby or other relatives wants to marry them with their children.
Because there was a problem of "Shijra aur Haddi" with them.
"Biradari me kami hai, baap ki biradari to ek number hai lekin maa ki...."

Influence of my grandmother failed at this stage.
Also their father passed away at very young age.
So it was my grandmother and my father who unofficially adopted that family which including a window and her 3 sons 1 daughter.
It was my father who somehow managed to find a groom for his cousin sister.
Since I made a decision from the begining about my own marriage that I won't marry any of my 1st,2nd,3rd or 50th cousin otherwise I could have marry with my phuppho's(cousin of my father) daughter.
Because I was pissed off witnessing a huge number of marriages within cousins...
in our family.
So it's kinda a reform from my side.

But my eyes are still on that family and I will definitely carry the legacy of my grandmother & father.

I love to talk those "there's no caste in Muslim" people?
Yeah, talk to me sweethearts!!!
And last but not least.
Pardon my English,
Stay focused on thought and not on grammar.
