I believe that our people are still discriminatory. Earlier when in villages, they were in direct contact with lower castes and hence the discrimination was overt. But now, they grow up in islands of forward-caste, go to elite institutions, and rub shoulders only with other forward-caste people. The discrimination comes out when there is change in the status quo, like the present imposition of reservations-based-on-caste for OBC. Sujai
