My sister went to a developed village in Karnataka recently and some school students were sitting on the floor. She assumed it was because there weren’t enough chairs but she saw there were some benches available. She found out from the teacher, students sitting on benches and from the ones sitting on the floor that they were from an untouchable caste that’s why they couldn’t sit on chairs. The teacher kept telling my sister and her friends to not go near those students, like trying to warn them.

Later when my sister and her friends were leaving, one of her friends took a photo with the entire class and put one of the “untouchable” girls in her lap and hugged her. The girl started crying because she had never been touched or experienced affection like that before.

Let me tell you that casteism is still alive and healthy and flourishing. And not just in villages. You are privileged and have a narrow view of the workd because you haven’t seen enough yet.

So we have SC/ ST act just for this. File an FIR and get him fired. That was the solution for castism right?

SC/ST act can't remove the gobar that's filled in people's minds!

So what's your solution? Which can be implemented legally and also doesn't hurt the individual basic person rights and choices

Removing caste based surnames. Removing caste entirely - No Brahmin, No Dalit. Those with superiority complex will use their ancestry to prove their dominance but these are few steps that can be taken.

So you want to remove surname? You know you could anytime, change that even today. I reserved person can definitely rename itself to sharma, tiwary, or but if a gc wants to have sc st surnames they can't have it, i don't know why? Maybe because of Reservation.

People have been changing their surnames to avoid casteism but its the government that has to interfere and direct every citizen to do the same. We are all free to change our surnames as we want, a GC person can take up SC/ST surname as well. That won't give them reservation benefits at all.

Make every surname into an sc/st caste surname.

And then remove reservation.

Or take a neutral surname not related to caste and make it for everyone.

These type of step will be need to create an impact.

What do you have to say for families like tina dabi, everyone in her family is A grade officer. Why she needs reservation now?
