First thing I hate casteism which is another name of racism but I would like to raise and clarify few points :
1) NEW GENERATION OF YOUNG PEOPLE DOESN'T HAVE ANY IDEA OF HOW INDIAN SOCIETY HAS EVOLVED TO TODAY'S STATE ?
2) THEY ARE MADE TO BELIEVE THAT SC/ST HAVE RISEN A LOT AND THEY DON'T NEED RESERVATION AFTER 60 YRS OF INDEPENDENCE. ( BUT DON'T FORGET UNTOUCHABILITY IS BEING PRACTISED FOR MORE THAN 2000 YEARS, AND IS 60 YRS OF FAVOURED TREATMENT IS ENOUGH TO LIFT THEM ? )
3) BY LOOKING AT FEW ELITE SC/ST AROUND YOU, YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE CONCLUSION ABOUT THE WHOLE GROUP OF SC/ST'S.
4) ALL THE WRITERS HERE ARE MOSTLY FROM URBAN BACKGROUND, AND THAT IS THE MAJOR CAUSE WHICH IS MAKING THEM BELIEVE THAT SC/ST ARE NOW AT REASONABLE LEVEL TO COMPETE WITH OTHER GROUPS.
5) BUT THAT ISN'T THE FACT, IF YOU WILL GO TO VILLAGES OF INDIA, THERE YOU WILL SEE HOW DOWNTRODDEN DALITS ARE.
6) SEEING FEW ELITE DALITS/ST'S DOESN'T GIVE YOU OVERALL IDEA OF THEM
7) AND DON'T FORGET UNTOUCHBILITY WAS ABOLISHED ONLY AFTER INDIA'S INDEPENDENCE, SO DON'T THINK IT'S NOT PRACTISED NOW, IT'S VERY MUCH PREVALENT IN ALL THE VILLAGES OF INDIA
8) IN URBAN AREA YOU DON'T SEE PEOPLE PRACTISING UNTOUCHABILITY BECAUSE LAWS ARE BETTER APPLIED HERE AND PEOPLE ARE GENERALLY AWARE, SO IT LEADS TO OTHER FORM OF DISCRIMINATION : NEPOTISM, FAVOURITISM
