Dear politicians, first take an oath to remove the cast system in India. All human are equal in the eyes of God. Then who are we to distinguish between ourselves? Rather than trying to eradicate this social menace from the society, the ploticians are playing politics. This is the India where a small boy is badly beaten for touching his teacher's byke. So many other examples of untouchability are there in this land. I have come across people who was astonished at my shaking his hands and told that I was one of those people who shaked his hands, otherwise others (so-called upper castes) like to keep themselves away from him and such other people of his cast for being dalits.

charity begins at home.. first they should stop viewing themselves as labeled by that caste/profession only then others will stop making that association.. if you would register yourself as that and also tattoo on your forehead by that name (by taking reservation and registering yourself as 'belonging' to that 'mochi' caste) how do you expect everyone else to forget that. who gives you the birth right to be the whole and sole owner of that profession.. its a competition world remember.. and nobody stops them from being a sunar.. just that they may not have so much money at that time.. so what they can start whenever they have and when they can learn the art.
