Okay I know this is a controversial topic but I'm an outsider, I've been born and brought up in the UK. Here we were taught to respect everyone never mind what background people are from.

When a BB contestant does something wrong people jump to she's showing her class! And Mandana is constantly saying you're this and that, referring to other 'classes' and calling contestants class less. I've noticed the same on the forum.

I'm sorry but it's disgusting, I saw someone referring to a contestant as 'mawali,' like how dare you?! Aren't they human, don't they have feelings? By do people in India refer to people as class-less and call them names?

In my eyes the people and contestants that say these things are no less than the person doing wrong, it's disgusting and disturbing.

It reminds me of Aamir Khan's show where people that cleaned the streets and other people's human waste were looked down upon. It's disgusting, at least they're doing something with their lives as are working hard, people should support them.

Please refrain from calling Kishwer, Prince etc names and referring to 'class,' Mandana needs a reality check and unfortunately she isn't going to get one on this show as Salman is completely biased on this show.

Sorry, but racism still exists in western countries like UK, USA and Germany. Respect as as you want others, it is what is in one's heart, that matters about how they show and really about others.

Racism exists but it is dealt with here.

If someone said the things I read and see here they're arrested in the UK. I never said it doesn't take place, but my point is it's a lot worse from what I see among Indians, that's been pointed out over various shows and from what I read on this forum it's rather disgusting behaviour!

I guess it's the 'class-less' and 'mawali' phases that I'm referring to and it's all over the forum, it's so disturbing.

^And that's understandable.

My point was but why call them 'mawali' they're human beings. Call them inhuman, insensitivity but referring to background is my point. Thank you, you actually understood the nature of the post rather jumping to defend the country.

P.s. To everyone; I know I'm not going to get 1000 likes on this post as most people here have been using the inappropriate language towards contestants that I'm requesting to refrain from.

Every society has its own customs, etc. Yea, castism and ill treatment of poor still exists not only in India but in many other countries. Have you hear of Saudi Arabia and its neighbors where everyone except the local citizens are treated like animals.

BTW, only reported cases are prosecuted and 100s of unreported cases are not. One may not show one's prejudices (e.g., castism, racism, etc.) but one's actions may clearly show it.

In UISA, african americans (can not be called blacks anymore) have been killed by white police officers for decades but only now with evidences from bystanders people can see these atrocities. We as Indians never saw the slavery that these people went through and believe me prejudices still exist in non urban areas.

So you got bought by these people's nauntanki and BB's partial ism that showed 5 minutes for Team A and only a portion of Team B's 14 hours. 😆

You seriously need to understand the nature of my post instead of defending India. I referred to the UK as that's where I'm from and referred to India as calling people 'mawali' and referring to class seems to be awfully common, considering what I've seen in BB and on this forum. I'm referring to things I've seen. Therefore you're facts and figures of other countries are of no relevance to this topic

Is it right to call someone 'mawali' or 'class-less'? Who are we to judge someone by their class? That's my point?

Exact my feelings!!! I feel so bad to read some forum topics and people calling names to contestants. Mocking their English when Hindi is our national language and many such instances when our moral and culture is questioned. 😭

Thank you, it's nice to know I'm not the only one noticing it.
