Mr ant. Reservations existed in the country for the last what 30 years. Hinduism (that means india) is the oldest faith in the world( older than Judaism) which means it existed long before birth of christ atleast few thousand years before that. So grasshoppers suffering was since of birth hinduism. There was not much of media 30 years ago and there is no way to assess what their sufferings were. Now that you wrote such an interesting story why dont you please do one thing. Tomorrow when u step out of your house for work or college, ask every poor person ( by your own criteria) whether he belongs to a forward caste or backward caste. Now every one of us know that India is just starting to grow and there is more demand than supply.But whatabout INdia before last 15 years ago. These grasshoppers were trapped in the cycle of poverty for the last thousands of years. The problem with these "economically backward" forward caste people is that " every one around them like their friends, family are all super rich" and they are just helpless and want money to meet their endless material desires. But that is not the case of "most of the backward class people". And read and sink what sai gundavelli said" The wealth in India is still controlled by a small percentage of the people in the country(ants), so even if their parents are educated people, they may work in low-paying, civil service jobs (grasshoppers). There is no way it is possible to break the entrenched social system and the cultural barriers (caste barriers)over there.
Because of people like you the whole hindu community is losing its people to other religions in the name of conversions. Just for being a "hindu" you call them BC and SC. Most of the people out there who represent Hindu communiites are the backward caste people. All these ants( forward caste people) are not ready to loose their identity as ants, but fight for "no reservation on caste basis". First of all let the forward caste people give up their caste name and identity and then talk about other caste people leaving reservations.
Every one talks about discrimination of blacks by whites in America. That probably lasted for 150 years. Next time when u say that think of what happened to these poor people for the last 5000 years. Buddha left hinduism, Lord Mahavir left hinduism, King Asoka left hinduism for buddhism and there will be so many leaving. my common man dont be born as a backward caste in Hinduism. Thanks
