15. • “The worst thing in the village is caste prejudice. People
fight because of caste. It seems to me that we need to
change this caste prejudice very urgently. We should live
together in unity. Here there is fighting for this reason...For
example, if someone is of a higher caste and you are of a
lower caste, the higher caste people will not let you set foot
in their house. But I don’t think this way. I think they have
come to my house, so they should sit with me, pray with
me. As we read in the [junior youth] books we should live
in unity so that all prejudices will come to an end. Having
studied this book, people will become educated.”
• Varsha, a junior youth participant (Biharsharif, India)
