The caste factor has been there in India for thousands of years.The politicians will exploit the caste divisions amongst Hindus for as long as viable and possible.The people also have to be blamed for this. In Karnataka, just one example of the literate state, the two communities that have always held power are the Lingayats and Vokkaligas for at least 45 years! Time and again the election is fought between two communities and not about progress. Basic question no one asks prior to voting is are the roads any better, is the power situation any better, are the govt offices less corrupt,what is being done for corrupt people etc.Instead, even literate people are interested in two things .1.How to get their comunity included in the backward list and 2.Is that person being elected belongs to which caste! Thats the reason there is no progress and there shall be no progress.
