Also if he was so anti Pakistan he could have easily cut and pasted articles that show Pakistan in bad light. I can bet there are many on the web.

He does that all the time in case you have not noticed yet.

Posting this kind of post means that the person acknowledges that there is a problem, it means he cares for the country, it does not mean he is bashing India. What he might be trying to say - look there is a problem and if someone is in a position or will be in a position to do something in future please make sure you touch this issue. He might be looking for views on how to make India even better.

After nearly 60 years of independence has failed to rid itself of the horrors of the Hindu caste syatem, so yes it does need others views to tackle this menace.

Re: Caste Discrimination in India

It can take generations to solve such problems. 60 years is nothing in the history of a country. The law of the land does try to eliminate such problems and so the progress has been much more than expected.
Look into any country - US still has Racism and it got independance about 250 years ago. The Indian democracy is very young.
Try to look into Pakistan and see what problems are there. Do you have similar (not same but similar) problems, now try to see if the country is moving in the direction to solve those problems. I am not looking for an answer, its just something to think about.

Re: Caste Discrimination in India

How long has the Hindu caste system been around?

Re: Caste Discrimination in India

For a very long time. Initially it was for good of the society, but then it got interpreted in a wrong way and we lost all its advantages.
Since independence we have been working to solve this issue and today we are much better than we were at the time of independence. With the help of improving economy these issues will be solved at an even higher rate.

How can you call a caste system good for society? Is there no equality of people in the Hindu religion?

Re: Caste Discrimination in India

Oye one man SILLY army.... the original caste system was based on profession and was not tied to birth, and many rules were more rule of working. Unfortuantely these got connected to birth at later date..
There are umpteen instances where persons father belong to different caste than son prior to ManuSmiriti...

Now above point has been raised by multiple times and has been mentioned multiple times, I hope this time you get it and don't keep pushing single agenda and do some discussoin.....

Re: Caste Discrimination in India

i think it is inevitable that quotas will be introduced even further, no matter what. But any way, i hope this quota system is utilized properly by the beneficiaries.

and i hope they keep private enterprises out of this system system.
