And who made that decision to "create" the Rajas? Your much vaunted Marshy - 
says a lot don't it?

Well
then, pretty obviously the TM-Rajas being pre-select for wealth are
too remote to understand the problem.


Since
the 1970s, the gap between the rich and everyone else has
skyrocketed. Income inequality is at its highest level in a century.
This widening gulf between the haves and have-less troubles me, but
not for the obvious reasons. Apart from the financial inequities, I
fear the expansion of an entirely different gap, caused by the
inability to see oneself in a less advantaged person’s shoes.
Reducing the economic gap may be impossible without also addressing
the gap in empathy.


This
has profound implications for societal behavior and government
policy. Tuning in to the needs and feelings of another person is a
prerequisite to empathy, which in turn can lead to understanding,
concern and, if the circumstances are right, compassionate action.  


“Turning
a blind eye. Giving someone the cold shoulder. Looking down on
people. Seeing right through them.
These
metaphors for condescending or dismissive behavior are more than just
descriptive. They suggest, to a surprisingly accurate extent, the
social distance between those with greater power and those with
less”
