economic equality is one which is needed to get rid of this upper
caste sanction. Education is another. What Ambedkar did, he could do
only because he got rid of this upper caste sanction mentality through his
education. We need to learn how to make every
Dear Rajen,
Your observation "the lower caste want the sanction of the upper
castes" shocked me, although I might have heard it
before. Somehow I did not realize the impact earlier. Is it something deep
in the subconscious mind --- some sort of a psychological disease? The

Dear Rajen,
This kind of things must be stopped in two fronts:

violation in Indian Penal Code. The perpetrators (the entire village panchayat

This topic of casteism, got me thinking about religious tolerance (or intolerance).
All religions (written or handed down centuries ago) were probably written to suit their times. Some of them adapted (rewrote) to what we can say term as 'politically correct'.
