It is indeed admirable that Justice K.G.Balakrishnan, through sheer hard work and tenacity, has risen to the high post of Chief Justice of India. But I think you should have refrained from mentioning his caste. It is high time we applaud, appreciate and venerate individuals based only on their own examplary contibutions to society rather than associate them with their caste, colour or creed. Ultimately a man or a woman will only be remembered for their singular achievments and not because they hailed from a particular caste or community.
