The first page flash in Times of India,22 May '10 "Dalit teacher kills himself after caste remark"is unnerving and highly offending to our sense of culture and civilisation.The intelligentsia and,the truly religious and the statesmen must go for a self searching as to why are we failing in social values.
While 'social' caste has a remedy in social thinking,'politicised' caste has to have a cure in ideal political thought.
We replaced 'shudra' with 'harijan' and the same with 'dalit'.Now the vogue is 'anusuchit jati' or 'scheduled caste' ! A game of names,but have we succeeded ?When shall we practically accept all human beings as one ?
We must rise above pettinesses of all kinds to have an India free and fair in all respects.
Back to the Vedas see caste as mere profession and caste as glory or stigma as a blatant lie !
