RE:A fable: Straight from Aesop

Noel D,

What has your post to do with the main news? Are You working for a Missionary outfit, by any chance? "Noel D" is, perhaps, a Western name given to you by the missionary who converted you?
So, in your view, "Manu or whoever" blew a whistle, waved a flag or wrote a book, "whatever", then immediately there was a caste system? Did he have an army to go around India to "enforce" his new system? You are sure also that Manu is still around upholding the caste system? Who talks caste most often in India, Arjun Singh or the "upper-caste" people you meet on a daily basis?
Sorry sir, but many people benefit by playing this "caste" tune, to benefit enormously, more than any benefits Manu's "upper castes" may have got. There are "politically powerful" Dalit people in India and BCs and OBCs who own up to 9,000 Crores of assets, who do NOTHING for people of their own caste. Why don't you address them, instead of kneading the same old "Maida" flour?
