This is a very welcome move. I truly respect Sri Ravishankar for being bold enough to say that Hinduism doesn't sanction castes based on birth. But it will be hard to make the politicians and dalit activists understand this, as they make teir livelihood out of creating hatread and infeority in the minds of so called dalits.
"The only solution to the problem of social discrimination is to educate people and make them realise that caste by birth is not sanctioned by religion."
