The Upper Caste ministers touching the feet of Mayawati in full public view is a truly historical event. This is a big blow to the very concept of upper caste superiority and domination. I am really proud of Mayawati.

This is a bad culture and should not be encouraged. They shd have respect to CM, but should not stoop so low. When the elected representatives have the sense of self-respect?

Politics my dear. It is not upper caste of lower caste. It depends on whose hands power is there. Each MLA who has been elected has his job to do. Then why go and touch this ladies feet as if they are her slaves. That is because she has made them MLAs and giving them power and chance to use that power for their personal use an make money.

MLAs should touch feet of peole who elect them, if anything.. when i see such "proud" people then i wonder why they protest when lower caste people touch feet of upper caste people..what exactly was the injustice then? that you were not given the chance to oppress and torture and humiliate your fellow human beings? i shudder to think what you would have done to dalits if you were born in a so called "upper caste " family.. it is a shame

The mindset of average Upper Caste Hindus do not recognize lower castes even equal to them leave apart being superior to them. Events like Upper Castes touching the feet of a Dalit woman are a clear blow to such mentality. It will help to do away with the myth of Upper Caste superiority. It is a step in the direction of ultimately establishing an egalitarian society. That is why it makes me feel proud.
