I am stupified by ur comments. Please access the whole country and you will see that Caste and status (financial capacity) are two different things. I know alot of my frds who are SC and are stinking rich. These frds are now in professional courses tahnsk to the quota system and a pathetic in studies, But I am sure they will do well in life because their fathers are from rich families. However Let me point out that I also have some SC and oBC frds who are so smart and intelligent. And at the same time I also know my brahmin frds whose fathers are so poor that they are not able to finance their education in college and hence these frds study in eve college and work during the day!!!. SO caste by no means refelcts the status of a person anymore!!!!
