RE:Eradicate castism from India
by Sam on May 04, 2007 09:47 PM

Saibhaskar you are correct and we as the new generation need to find ways to remove this curse from our society.

Yes many commentators above have said that many very lower caste people have left hinduism because of wretchedness caused by caste based actions. What has the upper caste done to remove this cause of 'alienation' among these people?

Dear brother vg,
I am not against brahmins. I never am. Yes many knowledgeable brahmins have done a lot of good things for this country. But it would be foolish to think that only brahmins have done so. Say brahmins have done 99 good things, but they have also allowed the 1 bad thing-castism to continue..do you want to have that bad mark against brahmins? If no, then work in abolishing castism. And yes, ur right..take the lead as you have done gloriously so many times in the past. If no, you want it to continue and leave things as they are, then it would confirm the allegation against the higher caste that it was in their interest to let castism continue.

Just a query..Arent yadavas supposed to be descendents of Lord Krishna..? Wasnt he a kshatriya? If so arent yadavas kshatriyas..ie higher caste? Then why they also get reservation?..pardon my ignorance if any..once again this question is just for my understanding and not to hurt anyone.
