Is it my fault if I belong to SC category..

Very Correct.Ostracism is everywhere and has been there since time immemorial and also no where to go ever.Class topper does not mix up with back benchers. Handsome marries beautiful.Star performer sermons non performer. Everyone has faced one or different kind of group-ism.If some one calls you by your caste you call him/her caste.Gandhi faced it,Martin Luther king faced ,Karna of mahabharat faced it .Still they are legend in History.If some one calls you by caste you call him/her caste and settle the score.

@preetisagar Well my friend and this is where I am going to share with you somethings I learned a long time ago. You don't need to go anywhere to worship you can do that from anywhere anytime.Your status doesn't define you. People who love and respect you won't care about any of the outdated nonsense and love you based on your person your actions and not a label.Happiness is a choice and peace of mind and soul is priceless. So its your life and maybe its time that you start to live it how you want be happy and we take back power by not feeding the ugly beast of ignorance anymore by letting this affect your life negatively. We have classes here it depends how you determine them. By wealth education and or financial status. I feel every class has 3 levels. Like theres poor,comfortable and rich in general.White collar,Blue collar, Pink collar. For me personally I think there are more 3 levels in each of those. Piss Poor,Dirt poor and Poor. Simple break down piss poor homeless people. Dirt poor people who are needing government aid. Poor people who work but making low wages due to lack of education often working two jobs. I am considered to be poor to those who have 6 figure bank accounts. I am not poor enough to those who I came up with whom we have surpassed financially. I consider myself to fall in a lower middle class. 50-60k range not born from money but have made enough to live comfortably. However The people we choose to be in our lives don't find any of it relevant to them I am just Robert, nice guy who works hard and tries to be a decent human being.

@Robert @lokisdad Hi Robert You are right. but when this caste system affects our personal life it becomes really hard to ignore.. we cant worship in some temples.. we cant marry to another caste.. I am working in an IT company and there is not a even single person of my caste.. and i am shocked that this generation also believes in this caste system.. they still call us by our caste..

Behan Preeti,some north Indians are humiliated in Maharashtra ,though some highly respected there. Majority in one place does excess on Minority but are vulnerable at place where they themselves are minority.White despise blacks.Whites are avenged at some other place.But moneyed Man/woman are respected everywhere irrespective of cast creed and religion.I do not think Mayaawati could have been prevented to enter temple,if she, in any chance, were dared to ,then that fake ,shallow priest would have paid such a high price that even his community had not dared come to his rescue.The temple where they wished to worship and obstructed is actually not the temple rather it is a shop and the priest is shopkeeper.This can be dealt with law, meanwhile you can say to them 'GO to Hell'

@siddhartha @suripunj (37) Among state schools, 88% discriminated against Dalit children, while 79% required Dalit students to sit in the back of the classroom. In 79% of schools, Dalit children are forbidden from touching mid-day meals. They are required to sit separately at lunch in 35% of schools, and are required to eat with specially marked plates in 28%. In high schools, higher caste students are often advised not to mingle with Dalits. There have been incidents of Dalit teachers and professors being discriminated against and harassed by authorities, upper castes colleagues as well as upper caste students in different education institutes of India. do you want to say anything ?

Mr. siddhartha @suripunj (37) you need to read this

I am glad tto know that there are people who think like me.. and yes govt took many step but still 45% population on this category is illitrate because they are below poverty line and no one tries to approach..

@preetisagar It is sorry state of affairs if it still exists. May be I am not aware about such facts. Currently I live in a metro city where no one knows about caste of the people resides near you.

@preetisagar - I totally get it. But I'm not in India. SO I have to use my points of reference. We have the Civil Rights Acts in the USA. Discrimination is illegal. But that law didn't stop racism and people are still racists. The word "caste" should not even exist. However, since it does and you say the government "took many steps" ... does that mean they enacted a law? If so, that means people who violate that law should be taken to court. A fair verdict, judgment and penalty will have to be publicized so that others will know the same can happen to them if they don't stop discriminating! Why have a law for the good of all the people, if it's not going to be enforced when some of the people are being aggressively and egregiously violated? It's not right.

@cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner Hi The problem is not with the system the problem is with the mentality of the people or i can say educated but still illitrate people...!! The govt of India took many steps to end this discrimination and i really appreciate that.. but the population of India .. you wouldn't believe that they have divided the fields / professions based on caste if a person is sweeper or shoemaker or from a profession something like this .. that means he is from lower caste ..

Hi Mike Then i can say you are really lucky.. In India people are educated but their thinking is still the same .. they believe in God but they have divided God also as god for lower community or caste people and God for Higher community or caste people.. In some areas like UP/Jharkhand in India , people belong to low caste cant even sit with high caste .. cant eat with them ... People are not recognized by their work or by their ability they are recognized by their caste..

they should raise their thinking ..standard will be automatically raised.. thanks for your views
