Even the hindu gods are identified sometimes by their caste this led to Janeyu System and further to Manu supremacy... CASTE DOES EXIT IN INDIA. Marraiges mostly happen within the caste still... BLUNT RACISM openly practiced by society but never accepted. DUAL FACE of these top most caste followers had ensured that it will prevail.

True, however the tables have turned and now people originally from lower castes strongly support the caste system. Reservations in college, universities, medical seats, engineering, lok sabha etc and the list goes on. Why wouldn't anyone want to be in a so-called lower caste. Oh well, it's another story that they don't liked to be called as being part of one.

Stop all caste based reservations. Ban same caste marriage like same gotra marriages are forbiddem among some Hindus.
How long will this go on in India? Please act against this brutality of caste System.
A couple, who had eloped and married, was stoned to death in India's Andhra Pradesh.
Sunkara Srinivas, belonging to the Scheduled Caste, and 22-year-old Swapna Reddy, belonging to an upper caste, had eloped and married six months ago. Swapna's family was against the alliance as Srinivas was from a lower caste.Srinivas was working as a computer operator in a private firm.
Angry residents of Krishnajivadi village pelted stones on the couple after tying them to a pole, police said on Thursday.
Well, castewise counting is to be welcome as it is just to know the numbers which infact should not impact otherwise any section of the society.
Its important to know whether a minority is really a minority or a majority is really a majority in our society and also the people impacted by the caste reservations in all respects.
Re: It seems that most people, are against cast census !!!

I support collecting information by caste.
In addition, I want to find out exactly how relevant caste is to Indian society by finding out what percentage of the population is multi-caste. I predict it to be a miniscule amount.
If the census found that "low" caste people were still economically and socially disadvantaged, we can form policies and processes to remedy inequalities.
But if we are afraid to even find out what's going on, how are we going to fix it?
I am against casteism. To all people who say I am Indian, how many really have married or willing to marry outside their caste? Very little.. BTW, mine is a castless marriage (inter-caste as many say)
The theory that some one is Dalit and some one is Upper cast is not real . It is now used as a ploy to Vote Bank Politics .What descrimination an uppe cast is facing today is real . No body denies so called dalits movement or becoming even president of this country but there are ways in which a boy tagged as an upper cast is restained from getting what is due because of reservation .I announce i dont believe in casteism I am An Indian-sanjay
Read Arun Shourie's 'Falling over backwards' and you will know why backward caste politicians wants caste to be included. In fact, the majority of general merit candidates belong to backward class. There numbers are so high that the only people who need reservations are those who are economically backward of all castes.

There are people who already marry lower caste and take the benefits of caste reservations. And there are many who are forward caste usually well to do people who have right connections and who can get a certificate that they are backward to get job or promotion or get into university.
