Following discussions surrounding the alleged NEET 2026 examination leak, comparisons emerged on social media between the Four Occupations (Shi, Nong, Gong, and Shang) of traditional Chinese society and the Indian caste system by Indian netizens. Indian right wing started spamming misinformation about the Four Occupations in order to justify the rigid Indian caste system. This spamming drew responses from several Chinese scholars, who argued that the two systems were historically distinct. According to scholars, attempts to characterize the Four Occupations as a caste system overlook important distinctions between occupational classification and hereditary social stratification of Indian Caste System. Scholars further suggested that such comparisons are done deliberately to deflect attention from the prevailing social inequalities of the caste system in India itself. As one scholar summarized the sentiment, “If we drag everyone else down to our level, our own mess doesn’t look so bad.”

Scholars participating in the discussion generally emphasized that the Four Occupations functioned primarily as an occupational and ideological framework rather than a rigid hereditary caste order in India.[179]

This ain’t the first bloody time.

I have recalled Mr Modi has referred to China’s mining incident while people in India die in storms.

I have recalled that an Indian academic has coined the debt trap myth of China in Sri Lanka, before the West picked up on it

All to detract away from the bigger pitfalls in India
