What if one says, "bole chaprasi bhi khud ko sahab" (peon considers himself boss). Now, this is definitely derogatory statement, demeaning some profession. But is it casteist? No!!!
Those who are working as Mochi (cobbler) gets the caste Mochi; and those who are working as Sunar (Goldsmith), become Sunar.
Means, caste is as same as profession. Thus all Mochis, not working as Mochi are no more Mochi; and all Brahmins, not working as Brahmin are not Brahmin anymore.

Thanks.Now only we fools could understand why the ban was there.But, tell me, if all castes are equal then why this reservation based on caste.

understand some basic principles. - All Politicians are Corrupted and Politics is the best money earning activity in todays world. - The number of Politicians compared to the number of Voters (the common man) is very very low. - it is very difficult for the so called very very low Politicans to control the huge number of voters and do corruption and earn money without being questioned by the voters. - Solution for the above is to divide the common man into small small groups and then agains re-devide them into sub groups within the groups and so on. - To divide the so called common man(including you and me) the best criteria is Religion. - Second best is the Caste - Third is the Region - Fourth is Trade. and so on
it is difficult to control the wave in a SEA, but very easy to play with the water in the Glass.

You did not solved the real issue santosh, The real issue was mayawati required 50 lakhs rupees for her party fund. The moment film producer accept to pay it, the ban will go off.
you must appreciate mayawati. She did earned the money for party fund aswells as the support of Mochi's all over the UP.

wish everyone could understand that and not think of tattooing themselves on the forehead of belonging to that profession and then hating the same.
