A touching article by Prof. Gopinath. There are lessons for both parties - the "upper caste" and the "lower caste".
The same scriptures which the "lower castes" decry say that it is a sin to look at any caste as lower and some other caste as upper.
While the situation of SCs/STs is different, my heart does not bleed for the OBCs- and to say that there is no creamy layer ( even in Tamil Nadu - where Brahmins are the discriminated minority) is patently untrue.
For sure, reservation will be brought on and "imposed" on all institutions and we have to go through a turbulent phase in this nation when the whole thing blows over.. till then god save the country from the politicians ( particularly "upper caste" politicians whose heart suddenly bleeds for the "lower castes" and the OBC benificiaries who know that they do not deserve it and the CREAMY and very CREAMY Layers who know that they are the creamiest of them all. The ruling family of TN gets and will continue to clamour for reservations and they are the creamiest layer of India.
