it so happens that i agree with u word by word. except the timeframe when these scourge will end in TN. u see something which is propagated through centuries and ingrained in our minds will take a hell lot of time than 10 to 15 years. but u have more knowledge about our southern region n demography than me, hence, i ll take ur view on it.Caste is nowadays seen in marriages. Still resistances are there against love marriages, but rarely does it end in murder. The last one was a Dalit boy with a BC girl and it happened in Dharmapuri. Every district some incidents happen, but it was not the same intensity 30 years ago. My hope is that in 15-20 years caste will get eradicated in TN.
North India have more work to do in this menace.
regarding caste is seen in marriages, yes i'd agree, but those only in urban areas. in villages (like u said in the hindi belt), there are segregation in sources of water , schools, places of worship n even in ordinary chai wallahs who keep disposables as some ppl prefer not using the same cup that a dalit mite have used (but i think, hygene is also a perfect reason thoh). there are different ways of societies "insulating" them from dalits.
hope we see a better society in our lifetime. i see this social scourge as worse than communalism or corruption.
