Raj is right ! Casteism is must for India by Ananda Mahalingam on Feb 17, 2008 01:23 PM | Hide replies | Hide message
Raj is right in giving preference to some over others. This is nothing new to India, It hss been prevailing for centuries and it will overcome the current imposition of alien systems. I am referring to caste system, the categorization of people according their birth and according them rights along caste is right. The present misery of India is due to an attempt to discarding the layers of castes in Hinduism. India progressed and was peaceful for centuries with caste system in place. Everyone is not born equal!! Nothing to be ashamed about it, accept it or not caste are very much prevalent in India, both in private and public.
1. 52% of all temple staff including pujaris should be from OBC communities. 2. 29% temple staff including pujaris should be from Dalits and Tribals. 3. Remaining all temple staff including pujaris should be from other castes.
Also render PUJAS in regional or local language instead of sanskrit.

there is difference between "Everyone is not born equal" and everyone is not equal just because of caste/region/language/religion. nobody care who is Albert Einstein's father, nor they know anything about his children.... the idea being - "any new born can be a potential Einstein" - a civilization will be call great only when this freedom is ensued.
