What if we map Maslow's hierarchy of needs to the hierarchy of caste in India, w.r.t average economic status of each demographic?

Then it can be used as a logic to explain the racial/ethnic divisions between people in all societies and how they lead their lives according to fulfillment of their respective needs.

Fulfilling basic needs - real problems faced by the oppressed in society
Psychological needs - unreal problems faced by more privileged people
Self-fulfillment needs / self-actualisation - the most unreal, felt by the most privileged

Why is it unreal? Because in an ideal society, citizens bear a responsibility to the people and the governing authority to ensure basic needs are met for the rest of society; a form of utilitarianism.
