i am sorry for the victims of khairlanji, i dint know the details. it is still worse that it happened in front of the villagers. i dont watch much tv, and sometimes when busy, i have to skip news papers also. so i missed the details of khairlanji.
no one can deny attrocities and crimes are not taking place in this large country. terrorism is a bigger problem today. it is very difficult to stop such incidents totally in our large country. but shouldnt the government rather focus on removing such problems than creating a further rift in the castes by reservations. govt should follow ways so that the different castes live with love with other castes.
ok ndtv came up with it late, other media would have brought it out and what is important is that such incidents should not go unreported and the perpetrators of such henoius crime should be severly punished. in north india also we hear such news somnetimes, when some boy of some community runns away with the girl of other communities. there are not castes in pakistan, but such stories are common there also, when one boy runs away with girl of other community / tribe etc.. basically the culture and people of india and pakistan is almost the same only borders have been drawn a few years back.
i think to some extent it answers the querries of zaheen usmani also. ofcourse, thwey can bew elaborated in the related forum.

now u r telling about the culture of the people,that is what is getting changed because we are a democracy now,if we were not a democracy,do u think there is any chance that the old order would have selfcorrected. it is that culture that is getting changed. khairlanji was perpetrated by the obc s.they seem to be dominant in maharashtra.the family was subjected to that because they had become educated and were asserting their rights.such is treaction everyone when the underclass starts asserting its rights.one generation of reservations is enough for uprooting this culture that has accumulated over 1000 years. in north india,it is the upper castes who are dominant,they have the most to lose if the underclass is empowered,so they resist.

our society has been changing from the begining. nothing is permanent. we have reached this stage now. it is not only democracy that changes take place. not that we are not perfect, but we are rather degrading in some aspects, rather many. if it were not democracyed, we could have a very good ruler who may have abolished caste system, or there could have been a bad ruler who would have perpetuated it. but i think democracy has helped in perpetuating it. if something has helped in limiting the caste system it is the technology, development, media.
another thing, i have never known brahmins causing attocities. it is otehr castes. as someone said, brahmin is always refered as the poor brahmin.
