I belong to lowest caste.im not tall and don't look sharp.i feel inferior becoz my genes are not good.science says genes are everything & im no good

Not true: I do not recognize a caste system for people. Also, although your genes may very well be just fine, nevertheless there is a consideration of nature and nurture in human development. Environmental factors are vital to development. In fact research has shown genes can be modified by environmental factors. Structure not only determines brain function, function also determines brain structure!
