This is a real bane on our system that in every thing we bring in our caste....What is the need to mention that he is a "DALIT"...u only add fuel to fire here....by inviting trouble from all quarters....Ppl will get a chance to say that it took 60yrs after Independence to get the first Dalit cji....All this is nonsence...The man has got it on his merit...and mentioning his "CASTE" here will only sully his image.
This man did not come up through the reservation route. He came up through Merit. are the upper castes noticing it? Even a dalit can achieve the best without reservation.
