Hello World,
Nobody was denied education or employment or equal status because they were poor!
Nobody was banned from entering temples or enrolling in universities because they were poor!
Nobody was denied access to public wells and ponds because their economic background was inferior!
All the social discrimination happened because of caste-identities that were created by phony philosophies called religions!
Since caste was the measure for denying equality, many people for generations have been kept away from their rightful share of economic opportunity.
Therefore when we got independence, we wrote a constitution that compensated those who got discriminated. They now access to education, employment and opportunities on the basis of the VERY SAME CASTES THEY WERE DENIED THEIR SHARE OF EQUALITY ON!!!
Let’s ban CASTE and we can ban reservation! Let the government declare officially that ‘CASTE’ is invalid in India and we wouldn’t need caste based reservations! Once CASTE is banned, all schemes will naturally start targeting the poor and those with soft or bad economic background!
The question is: Have you ever seen a HINDU without a caste? let’s say a German converts to hinduism. What caste will you put him under?
Saying no to CASTE means saying no to religion, specifically hindu! When such a thing happens, all religions will become devoid in India and it would mean anyone can practice any faith [as usual] and all benefits will be for the poor and no significance for any religion including HINDU!!!
Are you brave enough to even conceptualize this??!! Can you draw the courage to talk about abolition of caste and religion with you own family!
Once we start doing it, we will embark on a journey which will lead us to a point where reservation exclusively based on economic background becomes real. The government has such a scheme already even without abolishing CASTE! Now that all including poor have reservations, the discussion on reservation has been formally closed by our government.
The follow up question is: Do we have the intent of questioning our government? [Try doing that!]
As simple as that I suppose.
