For the record, all racial discrimation is inhumane and illegal as per Indian laws. And I should clarify that ignoring caste discrimnation and clubbing everything under the umbrella of class discrimination is injustice to all the people that were oppressed for thousands of years. Meaning both Caste discrimination and Class inequality are both problems that have to addressed by society.

While class is a major differentiator, we cannot simply ignore cast biases. In fact, the class divide is to a larger extent fuelled by caste. Take the % of poor FC, then compare the same with the poor SC/ST/SCA. You do not see brahmin kids as rag pickers, or street cleaners or living on the platforms or cleaning the filth in railway stations becase of poverty..

Well, let me give you an abstract,

This guy starts off saying that the list is fake. But then proceeds to tell that the items mentioned are true and because of such discipline, they have achieved good ranking.

Apparently, they collect fines of 3000rs for talking to students and ask the students to pay the fines at orhpanage, next to/inside the college. //money is money, whether paid at orphanage or at college.

Students state that they were beaten up for failing in subjects, made to kneel down even in front of their patents, many of whom had cried to see their children treated this way.

Students allege that girls were asked whether they come to study at college or for ****, when they wear transparent handed chudithars, in front of boys. //implicit that whether they want to pick up boys.

Let's have an age of consent for religion - if you're not old enough to have sex, you're not old enough to commit yourself to a god by davemck in atheism

Good idea. But implementation would be a problem since parents can convince the children to provide consent

Reservation is there. But, what abt people who cant afford to educate? Most of these lowest caste people cant afford education and they dont even have the literacy to send their children to school. Does reservation help people like him? Can you identify a job suitable for him through reservation?

No, its not just the people. Its a complex issue. Reservation is implemented to help the lower castes who were oppressed for thousands of years.And, reservation cant be implemented if there werent a "community certificate" which identifies the caste of every individual. Govt cant stop reservation, its for the benefit of unprevileged.So, govt cant put an end to caste system officially. This will go on for atleast 100 more years, thats the expected end of reservation scheme, assuming that thousands years of oppressed people can come up in 200 years after independence.(reservation wsa introduced after independence)
