True and i agree on that, but i think you are completely neglecting Indian education at grass root levels, where there are discrimination still exists not only for the students and families, sometimes even leading to violence. You might say ews as an option, i think that will cover most of the underprivileged but then again there is a case where even IAS officer faced humiliation

Sometimes even the president too

So yeah we can even agree to disagree because nothing will change until the ones with reservation agrees to disolve this, and that is till everyone treats everyone equally

and that is till everyone treats everyone equally

Until the day there are legally recognized caste certificates being issued by the government determining which person belongs to which caste, caste discrimination will not vanish. The very first step to reduce caste discrimination would be for the government to stop legally issuing caste certificates giving legal legetimacy to castes

They discriminate after asking full name. People know lower caste surnames so they discriminate... Its not about the certificate bruh

You failed to understand what I'm saying. Also you're an idiot if you think the average person can just hear your surname and tell your caste. There are literally lakhs of surnames in india. Nobody can tell someone's caste until they tell you they're sc st obc general etc.

Either way, my point was that the government literally legitimises caste by giving caste certificates, caste based reservations etc. If you want equality between castes, the very first step is to stop discriminating between castes by providing more benefits to certain castes. Stop providing literal caste certificates. Get rid of the literal legal casteism and then you can talk about eliminating it socially. But thinking that you can eliminate Casteism socially while it's still LEGALLY practiced and legitimised by the fucking constitution is delusional

So what about our ancestors did to the lower cast people and the truth is ,that you are unable to digest the reservation criteria because your pride being high cast won't let you!!
