Rahul's gesture is only symbolic as the author himself says. It is not going to improve the lot of Dalits, which can come about only when the mindset changes.
Caste discrimination is practised not only by Hindus, but by others too. It is a product of warped mentality cultivated over Centuries. Laws alone will not break such a mentality.
