Racism and Casteism
If indeed Indian casteism, particularly when directed at Dalits and other so-called “lower” or backward castes, is a form of racism by other means then, like South Africa before the lifting of the racist policy of apartheid, India could also be made liable to international sanctions. So far, India has managed to evade the caste-race equation by arguing that caste distinctions are based on social, occupational and economic considerations and not on genetic racial differences. This view however might now be challenged by research done by the National Institute of Biomedical Genomics (NIBMG) a Kalyani-based institution headed by biogeneticist Partho Mazumdar. It is time caste is identified as what it has always been: racism in disguise. As recurrent attacks on people from the north-eastern states, and the antipathy shown to Africans in the country, have repeatedly shown, Indians are among the most racist people in the world.
sent, people of European and Dutch nationality are not able to get good jobs and compete in Indonesia because of loss of status but some totok European and Americans are able to get good job if they not come in the category of labour market. Whether Peasants come in the large majority of Indonesia but actually merchant, intellectual and non-intellectuals come in the higher status system in the Indonesia (Wertheim 1955).

Business Opportunities in Indonesia: Due to the slowing economic growth and falling government revenues, now Indonesian government is trying to increase the value of foreign investments for enhancing economic growth and making infrastructure modern according to the needs. To encourage investments, the government is planning to extend tax exemptions and holidays for new sections. The government has plans of $450 billion to build the much needed infrastructure for five years up to 2019. The government has opened up opportunities for foreign investments in new six refineries, 15 airports and in 35000Mv electricity capacity (Chilkoti 2015).
As Indonesia has faced 1997 Asian financial crisis but now has become politically stable. Lots of factors available in the Indonesia like strong consumer needs, steady economic growth etc. are now providing many business opportunities in Health, Agriculture, Financial services, Infrastructure and Telecommunication. Australian Prime Minister Tony during his visit to the Indonesia has said that he is looking various opportunities for trade in investments and by 2025 it will be world’s 10 biggest economy. He also said whether lots of opportunities are available but to face the diverse culture of 600 ethnic races is also a challenge for foreign investors (Global Indonesian Voices, 2013).
Foreign investment and company establishment, 2015 defines that to establish a business in Indonesia is not an easy task. If the foreign company does not want to invest in the local entity and establish an independent identity, he first has to select a agent and distributor or open a representative office in the Indonesia. If the business shows the sign of growing, then foreign investor will apply for a company status. The foreign investor will establish the office according to the line of business and the government will open essential licences, the main disadvantage of opening representative office is that they cannot conduct direct sales and issue bill of lading.
