Thinking back for a moment at those fishermen of Kanyakumari and how hard their live must be. Most of them became Christian as they are best supported by the Chritian Society in the battle for their rights as fishermen belonging to the lower cast of Idian Society.
The cast system is disappearing but still strongly maintained by lower educated people. In bigger cities more people get better education and a new kind of cast is rising, those of the new rich.
