What would two typical upper-caste persons talk about the backward-caste persons in India, "Dekho ye kaise-kaise kapde pehante hai", another case where an upper-caste elite tries to taunt his companion "Tum nichi jaati waalo jaise kaam mat kiya karo" !!!
Where is the unity? Where is the brotherhood? Its a very bad part on our Indian society which is still narrow-minded on the issue of casteism.
In India, untouchability against the 'so-called' backward classes is indeed abolished, but some impacts are still left as a big spot on the nature of people..
I have seen, that whenever a knot of marriage is to be tied between 2 families, the first question arises "Which caste do you belong to?" If the families are both of same caste, then the topic of marriage is taken into discussion.. Otherwise only a few broad-minded families agree to tie knots of happiness between them! Even the matrimonials for marriage published on the newspaper, are shown in categories, i.e. different column for upper-castes and different for backward ones!
Why can't a so-called 'JAT' girl get married to a boy from the so-called 'SC' ?? Or why can't a 'Brahmin' boy marry to a girl from backward class?? CASTE is seen as a most important and somehow essential factor for marriage.. But till when??????
So, I would end this topic putting a big question mark (?) right here... and what I do feel about our society is, " This world is too large, but we people have made huge barriers around ourselves and made our world very tiny... Sometime these barriers would become so enlarged that we would not be able to break them, even if we wanted! "
.....waiting for the day when the column of 'caste' would be abolished from the birth certificates, when the matrimonials would be published not under categories of different castes, and when the name "CASTE" would be lost beyond considerations!!

Guru Ravidas Ji taught the lessons of universal brotherhood, tolerance, message of love your neighbour... Guru Ji spearheaded the fight against man-made discrimination based on caste and preached the lofty ideas of socialism and equality...
