Mr. Communist your argument, typically in any thread you revert to the caste system. Apparently you are blind sited by the jesture of the GoI banning such things, but the perception of people will take time. Long as you understand this you can keep on ranting about it..
There is a song, "I am not the only one". Good one.
Is caste prejudice still an issue?
Some excerpts:
Reena Jaisiah is a 29-year-old teacher and arts director from Coventry. She was raised by parents from a Punjabi background who were not particularly religious, but were from the Dalit community, a group of people who are considered to be ritually unclean by Hindus.
Reena's parents rejected the caste system, but did not tell her about her background - which led to questions from schoolmates and ultimately, bullying when they discovered that she was a Dalit.
"People with a strong religious feeling always want to know what caste you are", she says.
"My parents encouraged me to conceal my background, but I felt inferior to children from other castes."
Reena also encountered prejudice while at university and says she can still see the caste system at work today amongst Hindu schoolchildren, with pupils exhibiting a form of "caste consciousness" by treating others according to their perceived place in society.
The Indian government made caste discrimination unlawful in 1976, though it is still practised in some areas. So why is the problem continuing, and will any Indian reform affect British communities?
Babu Gogineni is from the International Humanist and Ethical Association, one of the conference organisers. He believes that political reform in India will not solve caste prejudice.
Reena Jaisiah, however, is in no doubt that her Dalit origins still cast a shadow over her life. "I own a shop in Coventry and there is one customer - who is from the higher Brahmin caste - who keeps asking me what caste I am. "She still refuses to take the change from my hand when I serve her."
