Blood has to be shed in the path of progress. It happened everywhere, now is happening and will happen in future.
However, the governments continuing reluctance in granting SC status to the Gujjars is surprising. The blood is already shed, and now it is time for the govt to take action the grant the gujjars their wishes. Then some other community can come forward with the same demand, shed some blood and get SC status. Thus, in the long run, in a developed and liberated india, the brahmins and rajputs and Vaishyas can eventually seek the SC status and get it ----- and caste descrimination will be over for ever.
The only problem will be people of other faiths like Sikhs, Christians, Muslims etc. Well, we already have granted them SC status unofficially, so it will not be a bad idea to grant SC status to one such sect/religion at the very same moment of awarding the status to a Hindu caste. Equality all the way......
