My country is known for Caste system. A system where the society was divided in 4 categories. This was cause of racial discrimination in my country. Over the year the system was abolished, but still it can be found at many places. In many instances the people of lower categories started to get much name and fame in the society, the reason they have made enormous wealth.
धनैनिष्कुलीना कुलीनार्भवन्ति धनैरापदं मानवा निस्तरन्ति
धनेभ्यः परो बान्धवो नास्ति लोके धनान्यर्जनध्वं धनान्यर्जनध्वं
Dhanairnishkuleena kuleenaarbhawanti
Dhanairaapadam maanawaa nistaranti
Dhanebhyah paro baandhawo naasti loke
Dhanaarjanadhwam dhanaarjanadhwam
Dhan = money, wealth.
Kuleen = a person born in an upper caste.
Nishkuleen = a person who is born in a lower caste.
Aapada = calamity, serious danger.
Nistaranti = come out of a calamity.
Paro = beyond, better than.
Bandhava = relative, close friend.
Naasti (na + asti) = does not exist
Loke = in this world.
Arjan = earn, accumulate.
Arjanadhwam = do earn.
i.e If a person is rich, he is treated like an upper caste person even if he may be born in a backward caste. With the help of money people come out of calamities unscathed. In this world none is a better friend or relative than money. So earn more wealth, more and more wealth.
Money and wealth can be significant indicators of someone's social status and are often perceived as markers of success, influence, and importance within a society. While success is subjective and defined differently by individuals, having more money can often lead to a higher social standing, as material possessions and access to resources are seen as indicators of status. In such cases, the other people only sees the wealth and does not bother about their caste. Overall it is the money which determine the status of a person.
