I like this sentence 'castism is social problem not a political problem'. That is what RSS, gandhi said too. But let me explain, india will never have nationalism and only nationalism as its main driving force in indian politics as long as we do not have social democracy. As long as there is any descrimination (religious, region based, cast based) we will have its implecation on every aspect of our life. Social leaders like ambedkar had been trying to tell these things for years but where billions of dollars economy is attached to caste system no one from that side, who are getting benefited, would even accept that it "IS" a problem. forget annihilation of it.
Mayawati will be next prime minister and she will embrace buddism publically when she becomes PM. No one can stop that from happening. No one can stop the moment whose time has come.

Well currently Buddism gives me all the things that I look for in a religion, i.e liberty equality and fraternity I am not looking for any conversion anymore.
Exploitation of the Dalits happens due to strict adherence to Manysmruti by current leadership and population. Look at Jains and Budhist if you want to get away from exploitive ideology of Manusmruti and Manuvadi Brahmin cllture.

In which era you live man, there were many problems in the time you are talking about like slavery, castism, racism. But we are a new generation and we neither do that nor believe you to do that.
You are misguided by a few petty thinking politicians whose sole aim is their own welfare by igniting people. Remember if you bring reservation beyond a certain level or suppress meritocracy then there will be a lack of development. Believe me that result will be that there will be no jobs and nobody will be benifited. Upper Lower whoever.
I am not against reservation but if it is a logical way of uplifting the society I support that. But your reservation is swallowed by few so called lower cast well educated city born fellows who don't have right to get reservation. Do you think Mayawati's son should be in reserved category?
So my friend, I am really disappointed when a guy like you is misguided. Let's have the reservation but in a logical manner and economically deprived people too should come under that. Should be restricted in education not in jobs.
Why was India lagging as compared to the rest of the world before liberalization? That is because we suppressed competion. But at least now we are competing.

Jashad, am not sure this will change even if Mayawati is PM,We always need a reason to blame and also any one in power may supress others,Has any body seen past a few hundred years, who knows who were supressers and supressed a few hundred years ago only thing there are always three clases u name it anything one who has power upper class middel class and the supressed lower class, ppl may change but not this fundamental,China though a commi country can you say that they have surpassed those evils the answer is a big No, Try to live in current scenerios dont live in past or future "Kal ke liye aaj ko na khona phir yeh na kal aayega",Even with reservation how many of actual deserving are benifitted, I can just say that you can take a donkey to pond not feed him,it is his own will, Take a case "one student gets admission in a Medical college even with low marks, till admission it is ok, he now knows that he ll be doctor one day, by gods(adjoining Students) grace he clears all exams, Now he is adoctor in Govt hospital, every year he gets good promotions though only 10% of his patients feel positive, now you get a medical emergency and are treated by this fellow, will you want to get that, I am not saying that there are no good ppl in these classes but this attitude will be wrong and the reflection of this sound will b heard for years.

What uve said is a bigger joke than the original one. Your thoughts are more backward than the backward classes you are talking about. Thought process is one area where the so called 'Backward classes' definitely need help and support for improvement.

I agreed to Jasad. Whatever been happened in the past and still happening at some places is shameful. But castism is a social problem not a political problem. We need social leaders to do a social reform and help all of us to get rid of it. I don't think stuffing their own pocket politicians can help with this.
