It sounds to me that there is still some kind of cast system going on in those villages. The fact that the police and others thought so very little of adoptees or orphans and then defended a "fine upstanding citizen" speaks volumes to me. I think this is still going on all over the world actually. As soon as some famous or beautiful child of employed well adjusted people goes missing it is broadcasted everywhere. This is not so for the indigent and homeless and those considered on the lower rungs of the ladder of success. Thoroughly disgusting and I don't know how we can ever change this. Horrid. @think
There has always been a caste system. It never ends. Some people get great pleasure in looking down on others. It raises them to a much higher rank. It has always disgusted me. I know very few people that are elitists that have a real deep knowledge of what those beneath them suffer through. They throw money at a charity and that makes them feel good.

Never thought of it in contrast to a caste system but I think your right!
