RE:Modi and Indian masses
by The Occaltist on Jan 22, 2008 10:48 AM

Those looking at India through rose colored spectacles, kindly refute the following CASTE BASED DISCRIMINATION:

1. CASTE DISCRIMINATION IN INDIAN MEDIA

Upper Castes: 85%
Google "caste in Indian media"

2. CASTE DISCRIMINATION IN INDIAN CRICKET TEAM

7 Brahmins
No OBC/Dalit
Google "caste in indian team by andrew"

3. CASTE DISCRIMINATION IN BOLLYWOOD

Check last names of all Indian Actors/Actresses/Directors
Name any OBC/Dalit.

4. CASTE DISCRIMINATION IN PRIVATE SECTOR

Google for Princeton's recent study of caste bias in Indian private sector

This discrimination is only the surface of more rampant discrimination in every sector of Indian society.
To those OBCs who support the Saffron Agenda: OPEN YOUR EYES
and identify the obstacles to your progress.

I agree with you that India suffers from divisions, but to say that Reservation causes it is preposterous and naive.

Divisions exist even today because of DISCRIMINATION based on yes, caste.
Try explaining how the above examples are not caste-discrimination, and you will realize why Reservations are necessary, maybe not for you, but for the discriminated.
