Defining Casteism
C
Casteist Closure: Weaponization of caste by the so-called upper castes to end an argument or overpower someone from the so-called lower castes. E.g. Caste is so deeply embedded in the psyche of the so-called upper castes that their entire identity revolves around it. They do not hesitate to use it as their weapon of last resort. They may sit with you, eat with you, and even be your friends. But if you end up in an argument or a verbal spat with them — it always ends with caste. They will always close the argument by reminding you of your caste.
