cant we alltogether scrap the categorisation itself in all forms and ways. the divide then will cease to exist. for example:dont fill up the caste column at all when u are admitting ur child in the school...by the time the child grows up to be a thinking human being he/she'll understand why you did so. the caste column in the form will loose its relevance and then will be scrapped from the admission form. let us all evolve this new thought.

In full agreement. Those who do not want to indicate any creed or caste on forms should be permitted to write 'indian' in those places. They could be treated as FC for reservation for govt educ and govt jobs. Caste/creed reservations must be abolished for fully paid or scholarship-based private school/college education or private jobs. Those who are well off should avoid going for jobs in govt or in private firms, should instead try starting their own companies that will give jobs to a few others also.

Even I am of the same principle.My suggestion is that there should not be a column for caste at all.Even in one's name if somebody does not want to put surname(Then caste will be revealed)let them not do it.Your name and mother's/father's name mare than enough.But Govt.does not accept forms when surnames and caste are not put.
