It is good to see that Chamar or low cast Hindus are taking high position in UP, it is a dream of Ambedkar, hope his dream will come true , so that we can over through the high cast Aryans from high position. Then only we can get rid of this cast system only, if the Brahmins give away their highcast mentality and accept a common man position in society.

When Brahamin ministers were touching the feet of Mayawati before taking oath, symbolically it became the begining of the end of caste system.

Cast system can change India a lot, if brahmins change their mind and are ready to sit with shudra, or chamar, and all other common people.

and what about reservation. Mayawati earns crores every month and yet she enjoys reservation? Ambedkar had given reservation for 10 years. And these politicians are continuing with that even after 60 years. I know a friend of mine who secured 206/300 in entrance his father earns 2500 per month but he didn't get seat and on other hand a HARIJAN scored 140/300 and his father is SDM(courtsey reservation) and earns 25000 per month-he goat seat. what a pity

Well, can you honestly say that system is fair and people with money do not misuse the system? Reservation is imperfect but it is required for the time being as a gesture for people in the lower strata of the society to have some hope. It needs to be amended a bit to excude rich people but it is required.

Amit, First, do not quote Ambedkar selectively. He said so many other important things. Do you believe into them? Second, do some reading of Ambedkar writings before wrongly qouting him. The reservation, which you are wronly refering to Ambedkar, was not for jobs. It was for parliament and assembly seats.
