RE:Eradicate castism from India
by Saibaskar Parthasarathy on May 04, 2007 10:05 AM

Does that mean brahmins can remain the 'UPPER' caste forever... It is brahminism that has alienated hindus from it's own religion. But, remember there are more faultlines in our caste system today. Many upper caste have become backward to get into reservation bandwagon. It is not the brahmins but these so called backward castes who are greatest caste abusers. Caste cannot be eradicated as long as it is officially recognized. Remove caste from everything including surnames to govt documents and encourage inter-caste marriages casteism will be gone from India in say 20 - 30 years.
