It is very convenient to say it is internal matter of india. Well that country is 20% of this world. Number 2 is where you contradict yourself, if there is no discrimination in india as you claim (and i am in medival times) why bother arguing in front of UN that it is internal matter! If you have nothing to hide then why protest if someone is just trying to declare that it is bad.
As far as your contant harping on reservation, I will give it up in a minute when I have to stop keeping partner from upper class in my business in india, where it is gauranted for failure if I don't have keep "god father caste" in the business. And this is not medival nor a small village. Its a very repectable tier 2 city of 20 lacs. Stop harrassing my business, and I will join in your voice for removing reservation. Can you help me? I guess I am asking too much.... Seat on your freakin' fat ass here in US of A and please don't comment what is wrong. I have been staying here for 15 years but travel 3 times/year for my business and have been talking from personal experience. Stop pontification and do something. If you are interested in joining the nation do let me know, but I doubt so....

To Madhwa
If you do not remember then let me remind you. Last UN conference in Africa, everybody tried to to include caste as discrimination. Which also exists in Japan. It was the Indian government which opposed that!! Now we all agree there is a discrimination in india on basis of caste. Lets not be naive or be ostrich about that fact. Having said that I do not want to go in depth of your ineptitude in understanding the larger issue of social unrest and discrimation.
As far as mine is bigger then yours attitude, I do not want to belittle myself. In your post you assumed from the start that I am in a hell hole in india, first mistake, then once clarified you assumed I work for xtian bosses, second mistake, I work for indian bosses. Then you assumed I can't be serious in having been promoted as best of best in CEO/President's club. The constant assumption and prejudice is already built in you. There is no fool like an ignorant person, which is where I will put you. You assumed everything and started bashing, that shows the color of people like you (mind you NOT caste, COLOR) I do not expect you to understand this, because this is generating into quite a foolish arguments, without addressing the key issue that is being discussed here. I feel sorry for people like you who give this country such a bad reputation. It is a great nation and see what it has been reduced to by likes of you.....
God save this nation. Disclaimer: I am not xtian and I have no love for them!!

Dude, whoever you are, you have elegantly trashed this "Mad"hwa chap. I loath the way he makes an assumption every minute. Anyway for Mad and his clan days are numbered as everyone becomes conscious they will bargain for better education, political power etc... But Mr Mad and his clan cannot tolerate it! they become restless and frustrated hence this outrage on the net!
