If you were born on a high platform of social significance but wish to seek normalcy like the rest of the population; by nature and rules of societal law that this is denied because you are what you come from. Perhaps better explained that you carry with you your ancestral heritage. Your parental heritage dictates who you are; what you are allowed to do; hence follow your path without anger, disappointment and dutifully take your place where you belong. Tearing off to do your own thing, whether it be philanthropical, believing in another faith, or simply marrying into another tribe, changes the "belonging" that we all seem to covet.
I found that hard to swallow.
Anthropology studies tells us we are tribal. Bringing in beliefs sanctioned by elders who are deemed wise and knowledgable suggests continuity of sustained tradition. Whether it be those that perform circumcision to young unflinching pubescent teenage boys in Nigeria, ritualistic ceremonial requirements of being a tough "man" belonging to the Masaai Tribe. Not doing the painful cutting leaves you out of the tribe so necessary to fit in.
Most significantly India's caste system is a set of "prescribed unequal laws for different castes based upon their status in society" and it "justifies the caste system as the basis of order and regularity of society". Unfortunately Hindu's have no opportunity to marry into a different social group, so are confined to their caste group for life. Social climbing the ladder from the lower castes were impossible so they remained where the were, stalling economic progress. Only Gautama Buddha sort to do the reverse of climbing down in order to find Nirvana.
I come from a certain tribe that reminds me of my conduct and behaviour at all times. While it behoves me to follow the correct path, the temptation to step out of those guidelines continually persists and in the end I did follow my heart. The struggle to keep everything balanced became an art form and my survival instinct sharpened to conduct my journey with grace. Because of such belief in freedom of rights and privilege, I genuinely feel for anyone wishing to step in the public domain of service to the country, whether it be religious or political, when it is forbidden by whatever laws and familial codes of conduct.
Finally I was given an answer I could stomach. It was a simple answer to my voluminous thought provoking question:
My homage lies in those that try, paving the way for others to seek advancement in developmental growth.
