POINTS TO PONDER
by PALLABBISWAS on Aug 27, 2005 05:36 PM

Interesting article.However I'd like to say a few things.Firstly unless u step on others' shoes u can't understand their problems.In an ideal world there should not be any reservations.But are we living in an ideal world?Majority of the indian population lives in villages which is not as friendly as you see in MOTHER INDIA,SHOLAY OR KARANARJUN.People are still judged by their castes more often than not.Even in cities and towns while fixing marriages caste is given utmost importance.Many young people have told me that they are not going to marry from other castes how much qualified,intelligent,smart the girl maybe. It is easy to say that V.P.SINGH invented caste system. He didn't. It is continuing for thousands of years.We say that RAMRAJYA is the ideal kingdom.Surely it is for the male brahmins but not for the majority of the population i.e.sc/st/obc(74%).We all know that SHAMBHUK a shudra was killed by RAMCHANDRA instigated by a brahmin.His sin was that he dared to read vedas!RAMCHANDRA always treated HANUMAN as his slave and not his friend or brother.We also know how KARNA and EKALAVYA were treated due to their castes.
