Caste system is killing UP and Bihar. It is the fundamental reason for backwardness of these states. The south Indian states and even Gujarat and Maharashtra to some extent have weakened the evil caste system and built better societies. The question is are the people from UP and Bihar specially the upper caste going to do some retrospection or are they going to continue being racist and keep on fanatically supporting the caste system. What goes around, come around, the racist treatment these guys meted out to people from their own states is being meted to them from the people of Maharashtra. With rise in income of people from Maharastra and their stomachs being full, they have moved to the next level, hate. But I dobt the fanatic supporters of caste system from UP and Bihar are going to do anything about dismentling the caste sytem. In their family of 10 people they will continue to identify with the 2 fair color long nosed people, cooling ignoring rest of the 8 people who don't have fair color and long nose and resemble the lower castes. Living in thier blind ego-mania and self-denial they will continue to support the caste system, till the entire population of UP and Bihar is labelled as the new dalits of India.

Well said - how a few can in the 21st century enslaved most of population of UP/Bihar without them realising it. If these people don't know they are "slaves", how do you free them.

Education is the first step. Educate the masses, the lower castes and the girls, it will eventually help address the problem. There is no short cut to fixing the problem.

I would agree with what kumar is saying. I am from Bihar and have seen that the people from upper caste don't want bihar to be a good place. otherwise they may come under trouble. I am from, what you call, upper caste. I have seen the situation in my own family. Bihari khud Bihar ka dushman hai. So, I support MNS what they are doing. Bihari should 'Halla Bol' against their political leaders like lalu who looted bihar for 15 years instead of abusing Raj Thakrey. Long Live Raj...God Bless you..just a request- don't kill anyone.
