Biggest caste survey: One in four Indians admit to practising untouchability

.
Shame... But caste based racism was propogated under Hindu rule... India needs another Muslim or British rule to finally get rid of the curse of Casteism

Er...did you happen to see that 18% of muslims practiced it too? What happened? I thought everyone was supposed to be equal? By the way, aren't you the guy who jumped like a scalded cat a few days when a Chinese poster called you lower caste?

Embrace Islam, statue worshiping BrahminBrahmin, only way out of your caste system...

I don't know about that. It might make me illiterate. 'Cause the article says 18% of Muslims practice it too. But you weren't able to read that part.

Indian Muslims practice it because they have borrowed culture from the Hindus.
And because I wasn't born low caste. But i will never disallow a low caste from drinking water or stepping into house. Low caste, high caste we are the same. But its like someone calling you Ethiopian when you are really from Madagascar

Not possible.

That means 300 million people are practising untouchability today.

There are rural pockets that may be doing this; but not at such a scale.

You know what media does these days; exaggerate, create hype and increase TRPs.

Too much freedom by our constitution to them

They are referring to a survey undertaken by The India Human Development Survey (IHDS-2).

If you think its wrong, you need to bring counterarguments with evidence and not your personal opinion...

Hey I am just guessing. There are many instances where the newspapers have exaggerated the results or news and caught red handed.

Come on bro look around you. How many you know closely practise untouchability? I have stayed in North India and never have seen it.

Perhaps in some rural parts but even in villages it is not so prevalent.

1.) In this case, the paper is just stating numbers from the survey. If you want to criticize it, you need to take a look at the survey not the paper which is only bringing them to us.

2.) Looking around me is not an option. Not in a huge and diverse country like India with over 1.2 billion people.

survey is done over a sample of entire population. It is just an estimate and doesn't represent all Indians.

It was conducting in over 42,000 households across the country. Its a pretty good way to get a picture of the entire nation.

Of course its not showing the exact picture but its a scientifically useful method of getting to know whats going on among a certain group of people.

What I have heard that stereotyping India and funding research about caste system, superstitions, poverty and slums is the favorite timepass in many Western countries and thus these things pop up time to time.

42,000 is very small for a billion population and in a diverse country like India the credibility of these types of surveys can be hardly trusted.
