Comment: Its really shameful for the Indian Govt. to waste time and money to make a caste based census. This is only to hide its failure in other areas like terrorism, maoist attacks, child eduaction, child abuse, domestic violence, mafia crimes, which is on a high increase.

Comment: Many of our social reformers like Shankaracharya, Raja ram Mohan roy and Vivekananda preached of equality and tried to get rid of the rift. But our politicos have made things worse, in the name of caste they have divided the country into pieces and created inefficiencies. What british could not achieve in 300 years our politicians have achieved within 50-60 years of independence by dividing people so much. Shame on our political system, the only answer efficient military rule of 10 years to take out all evils(caste, corruption, dynasty politics) in the society

They have inflicted irreversible damage to many generations of our society.

| 3526 : May 26, 2010, 10:19 pm Signed by: Police Officer Comment: In America there is no system in place today that forces people to remain separate or keeps one class subservient to another. If you were born the son of a street sweeper, but excelled, you could become a doctor or lawyer or some celebrity or entrepreneur - and at the same time you would be fully accepted by your peers. Not so in India. The Caste system freezes everyone in place. It is extremely difficult - almost impossible - for someone from the lowest Caste to rise in education and social status. A Dalit would never be allowed to marry into one of the higher castes and would never be accepted as an equal. And for a Dalit to make it into bollywood, medical school or operate a restaurant or become a priest in a temple or become a member of high society in India is very rare indeed. You can move from one class to another in America(e.g Obama became President of USA) You must not move from one caste to another in your life time in India(e.g. Ambedkar could not become Prime Minister of India) I believe the right question to ask yourselves is What is the official parliamentary procedure to carve out an Independent Nation for 300 million SC/ST community from India? |

Hi, 1. when government has taken decision to do census on caste basis I think such type of "Indian" movement is encouraged by those who are not getting reservations but those who are getting reservations are certainly going to write their caste as well as their income to press for reservation & certainly this census is making room for "Mandal" like division in society. 2. caste basis census is certainly an evil but if carried out do not shy from it, I am in firm belief that upper caste should write not only its caste but also the income as well to provide necessary data to prove that they are not better placed then SC/ST & OBC & if they will shy from it they are making a blunder & loosing an opportunity which can not be make good decades to come. 3. Before last year I visited Lucknow dental college & I found there selection list displayed on notice board & I found out of 40 candidates selected 8 were Muslims which is about 20% of total selection, a recent survey of government of India shows that 31.2 % Muslims in India living below poverty line while the national figure is 37.2 % which reflects the false propaganda of Muslim leaders about the poor condition of Muslims. 4. therefore I believe that all community must participate in caste based census to show pro caste leaders about the condition of Indian masses that their conditions are almost similar of whatever community he belongs it is only politicians are igniting caste for vote bank politics.

Opportunities should be purely on the basis of merit of a person rather than which caste he/she holds. Secondly in case of the reservation system give the reservation for economically backsword people. What I observed that the people with good economical background enjoy the caste based reservation system rather than the actual needy backward person. If government really wants the progress they should concentrate on the development of slum area by providing them education for their children and food at lowest price. |

Let us first remember that first we are all Human beings. Each one of has the same blood and flesh. Let us, instead of caste, have a census of Humanism, Let us count how many pepople are ther who have Humanity in them? if the count is less let us stat converting them into being humans first who has respect, love,affection, and genuine concern about the other human being. I strongly wish to VOICE OUT AGAINST CASTE CENSUS. There should not be any Caste Census. It will only hasten our move towards doomsday. But will our voice count to stop the census? I have my own doubts. RMurthy |
