Civil Society can play a pivotal role to safeguard the rights enshrined to SC/ ST and OBC, under the circumstances!

Where ever you are staying just check the shops ,posh houses in all jobs hardly you will find SC people why..because caste and religion yet play a major role in India..

Our country is coming out of the caste based wounds, please don’t unearth the controversial past when we have been treading the paths afresh.
You see these delicate and intricate topics are understood by general public according to their conveniences. Every now and then just throwing the history to counter and finding similarity with anything arround the world is not good.
Exploitation is as old as the human history, it is called slavery when it is done under force.
The exploitation started reducing with the development of Culture and availability of resources for survival.
In this process the savage exploitation was watered down in the name of cast system.
Who knows had we not been under the rule of foreign power ( who were actually trading in slaves) India may have evolved as a different society on our own.
Can anyone claim there is no exploitation ?
ROTHSCHILDs are still prevalent and ruling the world, not only those $¢um Devils Phule, Ram mohan Roy, Baba Ramji Sakal, Gandhi etc. created by them to ruin India.
What the writer has failed to grasp, is the level of openness hindu society has shown, in the emanicipation of dalits & ati dalits. This inspite of the fact, that at the time of independence, hindu society was largely undeveloped, both economically and otherwise. This can be seen by the universal acceptance of the reservation policy for the last almost 70 years. Steady increase in number of inter caste marriages. Yes, we still have a long way to go. I am sure as, we as a society, develop, evolve, the scourge of caste discrimination will weaken and eventually disappear. This is not going to happen overnight, but eventually it will.
You are confused between shudras and Dalits. Shudras, the fourth caste tier in the Brahmin- imposed hierarchy, included castes like Jats, Gujjars, Kayastha, Patel, Yadav, Kurmis, Lingayats, Reddy, Marathas, Bunts, Nairs, Mudaliar, Vellala…. These were agrarian and royal castes that enjoyed privileges and power though Brahmins called them Shudras. Dalits, who were outside the hour caste tier were the exploited people. You are perpetuating a mistake made by people unfamiliar with the caste system. Shudra is a term that lumped all castes that did not fit into the Brahmin, Kshatriya and Vysya definition.
Excellent article and very true, thanks for shedding light on this
