Reservations
by Vijaya Kumar on Feb 11, 2005 08:01 PM

The policy of reservations, at least the way it is practiced now is abhorring and should be abolished, not add community after community. If they want to keep it, it should be limited to one or at most two generations and cannot go on for ever to the same guys.

Christians do not practice caste system. Hindus do, although they blame the caste for everything, they do not want to leave it. Once a person is taking up Christianity, he wants to be out of this caste cycle. Once a Dalit becomes a Christian or Muslim, he is that. He is not going to establish caste system in that religion. He will not have a caste there and claiming the Neglect of his caste when he was a Hindu does not and cannot apply. The purpose of conversion, as I understand is to be Castless-How does Dalit come again into picture? Vijaya kumar
