Wilbur Sargunaraj (2) on what causes poverty

INDIA: Caste - a cause of poverty and discrimination?  For more on this and teaching resources linked to the film, go to Why Poverty?

Wilbur Sargunaraj, India's first You tube star, takes us on an enlightening and often irreverent journey into poverty and the lives of India's poor.  Along the way, in Episode 2, Wilbur asks what causes poverty? He shows how the caste system is not very First Class. [It is incorrect!] There is inequality, but to make it a better place, you have to start right now. "In life you should be content as these two goats. See how content they are."

It isn't just a matter of inequality, but also an issue of discrimination and prejudice.  It is in such culture and it is with such mindset that we see the underpinning of poverty, that is, the haves versus the have nots.  Then, when Sargunaraj encourages us to be as content as goats, there is a sense of irony and pathos in that.
