What should OBC's do
by bharath on Jun 09, 2006 06:10 PM   Permalink

Prof Gopinath is right.I am an OBC and I studied in one of the top ten management colleges.I never used caste as a ticket to any of the courses I studied.We need to understand why politicians are using OBC,SC/ST's as a vote bank.Every Indian know about the Varna system,it has existed since Hinduism emerged as a religion.People got divided on caste basis only for functional purposes,brahmins in charge of the temple,Kshatriya gaurded the country, Vyshyas to do business & shudras to do farming & other activities.Those days anybody could become a brahmin or a kshatriya or a vyshya depending on change of his profession or acheivement.As time passed by the top 3castes began to exploit shudras.Many of them belonging to these communities converted to other religions.People in these religions grew in numbers their demands increased the result was Pakistan.Today its the same scenario,our country will again get divided if we dont abolish caste system,I hope the higher caste as well as politicians understand.Let us abolish caste system and reservations will go.Every problem modern India has faced has been due to caste system.Let us stop diffrentiating people based caste socially.
