On May 11 we launched our campaign against caste in census 2011 and responses from readers have been pouring in. While some merely self they are best because their forefathers have done something brilliant in past and they should ride on their lineage success, that's purely idiotic. Infact any religion which supports caste system should be abolished !

Comment: The caste wise census & the Maoist Naxalite menace are the most dangerous for the development of India even worst than terrorism when we will get liberty from these anti social anti india movements.Giving reservation in jobs based on caste must stop in order to unite India for the betterment of our society the central government and the BJP are against caste wise census but other parties are in support for this census.We are facing more internal emergencies than any other constraints.If we have to develop as a whole then some of the issues must be solved with clear vision.

Comment: THis is something which politicians have always used to divide the society and we the ordinary people fall pray to it. Its high time, we think on the larger canvas and treat humanity as our only caste and religion.

Comment: On the name of caste welfare politicians are only looking forward to weight how much their caste based alliance is going to work in future. It is waste of time and resources. We should have nothing else except the First name, Fathers first name, and Mothers first name, required in the census. Anymore information is useless. We just need total number of Indians, and nothing else.

Comment: Those politicians/parties who claim secular when think of caste identification it is rediculous, PENNY WISE POUND POOLISH. This clearly reflects that they simply don't want society to become secular and castless. They only use these phrases to mobilize their vote bank with illusive promises and remain in power by letting country to go to hell. Otherwise, why after more than 60 of Republic we still have to think of reservation on caste, religion.

Comment: I am appalled at the audacity of the political parties and the politicians for even thinking about caste based census, let alone putting it into action. While countries like China focus their energy on capturing the 21st century, our so called leaders are finding ways to keep us divided and waste our energy in petty issues and fights. They should remember that if the people get tired, a revolution is not very unlikely... But then we are Indians, the same people that allowed other less civilized cultures to rule over us just because we could not unit... May God have mercy on the Indian nation....

You cannot manage what you cannot measure and do not know. The better data you have about castes, the better can be the nations strategy to eradicate it. Therefore it is important to understand these numbers in the census. It provides tremendous opportunities to identify the true minorities, understand income disparities, do targetted programs to improve well being, as people from the smael cast do tend to stick togather when it comes to these programs (I am talking non-metro here obviously). |

Unless this starts from rural areas this nonsense word Cast and religion will survive for many years. Funny thing is there are still Guru s existed for each caste e.g. Vaishya Guru, Sonar Guru, Brahmin guru. These Guru s Convince people that they have to respect their caste. This is also dengerous situation. This is all happening in South part of India. They are having their mathas to survive the caste systems. We need to protest against these Guru s as well. Let us all educated and sensible people help the surrounding society to stop this caste and religion system. Hope that we will be identified by Indians and not by Brahmin or Vaishya, or Kshatriya....

My own case is of an inter state marriage. i consider caste as abhorent mallaise inflicted on society by people in power and should not be allowed to perpetuate itself.

Its tax payers who year after year suffer by feeding these lazy people. I am totally against Caste Census which will only help vote bank politicians and not the country. Infact, majority of SC/STs and Minorities are well off compared to the so called forward Brahmins who have been sent to the back burner by successive governments. Its Brahmins who are in need of assistance but have not approached the government as they have will and brain to sustain any adversities. But let this not be taken for granted for it turns out to be a volcanic eruption which cannot be controlled latter. Balasubramanian, Bangalore |

If till now nothing has done against this reservation policy and our political parties are promoting this as there bread & butter strategies for winning election and people mandate, than I feel in such condition and circumstances caste census to be conducted. If we are keeping our vision for develop nation by 2020, than we have to get aware that which all people and community are lagging badly in this development race. Government are offering reservation and benefit for under privilege people, but are these benefits are reaching to actual needy people, I don't feel so. So where is the gap and where these benefits are going. Till now government was providing the reservation as a walking cruches for poor people, but its was not the right solution. I feel, if person is sick then give him proper treatment and medical support in spite of providing cruches for walking forcefully. After 1931 no caste census was done till date, we are enjoying our democracy for more that 6 decades, but we never examine the root cause for non development of poor and under privilege people of our society. Creating policy is not the solution, when we don't have actual data base for our own country man. I feel after caste census, it will be easy for government to focus on poorest of poor people and community on whom till date we don't even bother to know or collect the ground reality data. We have people strength of more than 100 crores and diver's society belongs to 100-1000 caste. So in such scenario, it will be easier for government to focus on individual community development and work at grass root level, as per caste census data base, because with small and strong step only we can achieve the desired result. So I feel that till now government has placed lot of policy, but right implementation was missing. So with this caste census, we will get the real picture for rolling the real worthy policy for 2020 develop India. |

| 3076 : May 19, 2010, 3:26 am Signed by: abhishek Comment: cast system started with a initially harmeless and FLAWED desire to organize work, where anyone from any cast could change professions as they wished. Over the years it grew rigid and cruel and the fact that human spirit cannot be "organized" into a specific work became obvious. However, instead of realizing the mistake made by earlier generations egomaniac bastards, meaning our politicians, continued to use it for their advantage. The victims are too scared of change in a country that has provided them with no help and support whatsoever. When you don't have house, water and food...ideas that bring change in deep rooted traditions seem futile. Ironically, it is the traditions themselves that provide a platform on which poverty builds. |
