I think we need to understand privilege. The family that we’re born into, the sort of loci that you're born into, the sort of friends that you have. I have, since I work on caste, I know that many of many academics have told me come from the deprived background, those I have been able to interview they told me that the school has been the most trying place, simply because they were bullied by their fellow mates. And I have also had interviews where the interviewee told me that when they had done good in examinations, there was a apprehension in the teacher that this child must have taken unfair means to flourish. So you need to realize the tremendous amount of privilege you are located in. Unless you you're undertaking that you have done nothing to earn this privilege. You've just been born somewhere in a privileged family in a privileged location and privileged to socioeconomic strata, and these have just been given to you on a silver plate. So we need to understand privilege and unless you recognize your privilege, you cannot do away with the inequality that is embedded in society. You first need to realize that what you have is actually because of deprivation of millions and millions of people around who you. Your privilege stands on the exploitation of others, deprivation of others.
