Caste system and prejudices should be abolished.
Answers
Answer:
once in a while, when there is too much talk of caste-based oppression, many well meaning anti-caste crusaders rise from the ashes, and come up with a novel idea — caste must be abolished. Social Reformers mushroom and start urging those belonging to oppressed groups to stop using the caste card. Someone once said that the path to hell is paved with the grandest intentions and that seems to be the case here as well. I think these revolutionaries believe that abolishing caste involves:
1) Putting an end to the greatest injustice humanity has ever suffered — reservations.
2) A law which will have only one provision which will unambiguously and severely penalise any act of protest or complaining about any caste related discrimination.
This, is the heaven they want to live in and it is towards this goal that they believe abolishing caste is necessary. With great respect, I don’t think that these great minds have thought this one through. They do not seem to have consulted the necessary stakeholders either.
I think what they really want to say and are probably falling shy of saying is:
There is no such thing as caste.
