In this connection I recall an old story: Once upon a time One fellow named EKLABYA went to his GURU for education, but Guru told him that he gives education only for upper caste and since you are from lower caste (BHEEL) you can not get education there. Of course as per story he learnt his own. He prayed to GOD that in my next birth, GOD please give me birth in upper caste, and as per his pray, GOD has given at this age in upper caste. When in this age he born in upper caste, and grown up and went to college for admission, the Principal of the College told him that if he would have from Lower or OBC caste he could have got admission but now since he is from upper caste Sorry, you can not get admission. Although this is a story but indicate so many points. anant agarwala, C-10/11 Krishna Nagar, Delhi-51
