Well said Iso, specially the point about passive resistance. It's like acute and chronic pain. Sitara, abolishing the caste system totally? Not only I don't see that happening and don't think that is necessary either. I guess you were just raising the point afterall, not advocating for it, were you? About that "black" kid having blond hair, I thought blond genes is thouroughbred, I mean both of your parents had to be blond to have blond hair. May be not. SAN, appalusible effort you have undertaken. The reform has to come equally from Govt and society. Awareness is the key point. I don't know how many people will go inter-cast marriage just for the heck of getting some benefits, but there are other ways as well. Would a Quota system, for unprivileged cast, in civil service works be a bad thing? I think we already have some forms of it implemented. Would that further enforce cast-ism or equalize it?
