To begin with, india came up with the concept of identifying people based on their jobs. As you all know, brahmin, kshatriya, vaishya, suthras. In the middle ages, this identity got lost and thus evolved the caste system. Please understand this very clear, the hindu mythology does not have castes, the so called followers of the hindu way of living (we indians) brought it. Thus the very fact that periyar was a anti-hindu is really stupid. He fought against the social injustice in this society. Yes, brahmins did get over their limits for which they are paying the price. Today Brahmins are a minority in TN. Has this made any difference for DMK. The so called OBC are the biggest losers, wake up people. There are a bunch of politicians here who are exploiting this caste to the maximum. I find it really funny to see all you people fighting over something thats totally absurd. If you want equality, then fight for it. Don't discuss it over a stupid forum like this. Focus all this tremendous energy you have to make something happen.
Lets educate the poor. By 2020 lets try to achieve a basic level of education in our society. Lets make sure we have no beggers in our society. Lets make sure there are no homeless.
Now thats a dream, there's no point fighting among ourselves. It's of no use guys...The generation of our parents were not very well educated, but we are...so lets put this education to a better use.

As you have said.. now we have reached a point where there is equality across the caste/community(atleast in 90% of the places)..
now we should focus more on economic unequality.. none of the politicians shall take care of that.. coz that is their only trumpcard to remain in power.

true...as you rightly said, economic unequality is the trumph card of politicians. Once we get away with that then we as a society cannot go wrong. There's no looking back. The one thing that i'm sad about is that mos t of us gain more pleasure in fighting over such useless sh**. None of us even want to discuss such issues. It's a shame...
