There is one incredible India and one untouchable India. - Manjula Pradeep;
Tradition are poured inside the child through their parents first. All of the parents teach their children about ethics and values. Still, parents themselves practice some form of caste and religious discrimination. The rituals of marriage and eating's give children first hand knowledge and practice of discrimination. Our education system gives very little information about caste atrocities. There should be complete restructuring of society which openly commits caste discrimination and it is not told as a crime for normal routine.
The Governments in the past have viewed the communal riots or caste atrocities as a matter of law and order, and hence they have failed to evolve a just society. There is a rise of an individual and followed by a group in opportunist way on the name of caste. The badlands of India in its small villages, have their own on-going caste wars, con-men and utter lawlessness. The lesson of history is that suppressive and discrimination practices against social equality movements don't work. In the short term they can disrupt and demoralise, but if the movement is socially rooted, the success will come one day. Moderation and tolerance are essential prerequisites of development in the majority-minority relations.

ReplyDeleteNeither possible nor practical. You talk like a philosopher not a practical person.
Caste will always remain in India .
Our education system doesn't tell us about the atrocities done by Muslims on our ancestors. what about that?????
@The Mindset, if there is no attempt to do so, then there will no chance of dilution of caste system. The tendency of human to form sub groups will always remain intact with us. We can only dilute the most rigid and barbaric one by making it aware of its discriminative policies.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am not much a practical person. But I am supporter of a idealism that shuns away an unnecessary practical cruelty.
There are many points in the history to be told about the atrocities of Muslims on Hindus, Hindus on Buddhist, caste discrimination in all religion inside India and racial prejudices. Religions are rigid because they define a moral code and strict practices that will surely be violated by any normal man. And I was focusing on caste, that is why I pointed on that only.
