Inter-caste marriages
by Known on Dec 12, 2006 04:35 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

For those who oppose reservations I would ask one question.

How many inter-caste or inter-religious marriages are there in your family?

Dear Known,
Show me the list of So called Dalit leaders like Paswan, Mayavati, Dr Ramadoss, Mulaym Singh etc and ask them the same question. How many of the so called leaders of the dalits have married them to their children. I am a brahmin and my cousins have married catholic, protestant, muslim, Kamath, Shetty, marwadi etc,, in fact my daughter will be marrying a mudaliar boy. The question of caste is only for the so called dalit leaders who do nothing but make a fool of their followers. Caste is something we should leave at home for praying,,the only recourse for uplift of the poor is EDUCATION, EDUCATION AND EDUCATION. Marriages will come autmatically out of education and intermingling. Nothing comes free my dear Known. Dont try to snatch things from others and say it is levelling. Earn it , then only u will know the value of it and can keep it my dear friend.
Fight the government for education instead of reservations which is rightfully yours by the constitution and if all of you insist on schools in every village for votes, in one generation, you can remove your backwardness.

Dear Raja,

Reservations are legislative (not judicial or society) response to historical social evils to certain sections of the society.

Government should scrap reservations when 85% of marriages in India are inter-caste or inter-religious.

There is a bigger problem than reservations and education.

350 million people STARVING (for which YOU and I are indirectly responsible) every day for a meal in India.

I propose a nationwide credible "minimum" income guaranteed system for every one whether they work or not will bring in "dignity" instead of desperation for the working poor and "inheritance taxes" will stimulate "compassion" instead of collusion.

Such system will prevent all socioeconomic issues in India viz farmer suicides, dowry deaths, child labor, fear, frustration, corruption, bribery, prostitution, terrorism etc.

In USA,UK,Germany,Portugal, Brazil, Belgium etc this system is implemented.
