'The caste system has taught me that we have not progressed. The world is not a better place. We are still governed by ideologies that should be obsolete—hegemony, segregation, sin, and being pure-blooded, if you will. All societies continue to be influenced by ignorant ideologues who are staunch in their outdated faiths. Does being vegetarian make you a good person even when you refuse to treat another human being with respect and dignity?'
-Rhea Verma, 'My Fiancé's Mother Threatened Suicide If We Got Married'
