Just in case BathroomCoffee thinks otherwise, this is not in specific response to his queries
(he will have to learn manner of engaging in a decent discussion first to ever get any significance/value of him to me. I doubt he will ever do. It's been years his vulgarity remains unchanged. And so does my way of dealing with this class of posters- just ignore and let them know how immaterial they are !)
That said, on education as the way to teach the society to give dignity to Dalits, it certainly will help to some extent and so should be continued as a continuous effort.
However, there are certain things education alone is not going to get rid of, let's say, within next 100 years. And that is-- the deep stigma and dishonor attached to the lowermost caste.
The only way to destroy the stigma is to destroy the strict barrier and "heritage" of caste. And that's what my proposal is all about.
I will end this installment with the following note from a letter published in Pathak Manch of Kantipur last summer.
A reader, some Deepak Ghimire from Hetauda Makawanpur, writes exactly what I was proposing.

"तल्लो जातका भनिने मानिसले मलाई यो थर मनपरेन, उच्च जातिको यो थर राखिदिनुस् भनी नागरिकता बनाउन आएमा वा नागरिकतामा थर सच्याउन निवेदन हालेमा जिल्ला प्रशासन कार्यालयमा उसले भनेबमोजिम उच्च जातिको थर राखी नागरिकतामा परिवर्तन गरिदिने व्यवस्था हुनसके बिस्तारै दलित, छुवाछूत, ठूलो-सानो भन्ने भावना अन्त्य भई जातीय समस्या नै अन्त्य हुनेछ ।"
