So one of my tweets on caste system raised a lot of eyebrows so I want to explain my point.
It's going to be 75 years of independence for India soon but still this is a huge problem in the country. There has been efforts like reservations/promotions/fee exemptions & like but..

Still this problem doesn't look like it has any end. So why is it? Are all the "upper" caste people so ready to give it up? The answer is no. Are all the "lower" caste people ready to give it up. Still NO. Because they've used the benefits which were to be meant for everyone &..

Now they are socially "privileged" enough to not be discriminated against. Who are these people? They are the likes of people who work for a "vote bank" or a "union" to peddle their personal agenda. One cannot ignore the fact that one's status is society is linked to his ..

financial condition. If you're rich enough, no one will stop you to go to any fancy restaurant to eat. But if you're poor, you're more prone to the discrimination! I'm not against reservation for socially backward people if it goes to the needy ones! Only a certain small..

faction of "lower" caste people who are no longer backward are getting all the benefits generation after generation & the downtrodden from the same community are still caught in the vicious cycle of poverty & discrimination! You think yourself, if today all Hindus meet & say..

That let's forget all the hatred of the past & unite for a brighter future, how will those groups who day&night cry dalit dalit while sitting in their fancy mansions & luxury cars get their bread from. They will become normal like anyone. So they're bigger enemies of their own..

Brethren because they're playing with the emotions of poor & downtrodden showing them a ray of hope that they will fight for you, but they will show that they're fighting & fighting & fighting. But in reality they're not. It doesn't mean all upper caste people have become so..

good that they are ready to let go this system completing. But even if they try, your own privileged ones would say no.. they're challenging our identity. Think about it yourself, the odds of caste discrimination of a poor in a remote area is much much higher than a rich..

person like Mayawati ji. 75 years gone by & still they could do anything about this system. Why? Because they don't want to. They're happy sitting on the top of it. The system is flawed if it couldn't make it happen for so long. At the end I want to say common people from both..

the sides should come forward & the dalits should ask their own brethren to give up benefits if they've been uplifted socially & let it pass to the poor& downtrodden. It can be in the way of a creamy layer in SC or anything state thinks viable. ..

It's only the poor who has very high chances to suffer such discrimination. Rich ones won't even care. So work for your financial condition to improve, your social condition will itself improve. I think this is only the reality. Period.
