Can't believe what I heard today

my house is kind of on a main road. so all the rallies for shivajayanti passed by my house and this year there were a ton of these rallies passing by. My maid who is young (in her late 20s) said "look at all this show off that has started only this year just to show us how their cast is superior than mine. we don't celebrate ambedkar jayanti to show off over another caste. we have celebrated it the same way since I was born". I was speechless. I never thought either shivaji or ambedkar were representatives of just one community since both of them did great things that benefitted entire maharashtra and in Ambedkar's case entire India. i dont know what has gotten into the modern world that people are thinking everything in the cast and religion terms for such small things. i was saddened to think today's youth thinks shivaji is only for one cast and not for all the maharashtra. when did the world became like this?
