Why is this caste system taking prominence today
by chandan kini on Jun 05, 2007 09:10 AM   Permalink

Dear All,

Dont u think that as educated Indians we should all rise above this and embrace people of all castes as hindus... first the 27% caste based reservation in colleges introduced by the government... then the gujjars demanding reservation and now this... coming from a union minister's mouth... dont you all see a pattern here...

we are being played into the hands of the politicians who are following the patter followed by the British Raj... do we expect to develop if the topics we discuss and debate over do not come above petty issues like caste...

i'm a brahmin by birth so it may seem that the words coming from my mouth is insensitive or some other crap... but then i have never made any difference between castes..

please tell me whether we should buy what these politicians are feeding us with....
