Debate on Discrimination

These are the few points that I read somewhere on Discrimnation. It is about discrimnation based on casteism which is prevalent in India on a very large magnitude. Till date there are things like community from "higher cast" and community from "lower cast". Casteism is doing nothing but just fragmenting Indian people based on birth in certain classified family. Every year millions of people quarrel and thousands of people die fighting for or in the name of their cast. With education and awareness this is reducing and I hope it just fades away with time, for everybody's good! If you agree with me on this just read through the lines below you will find it just---Comforting.

• Casteism is racism of another sort.


• Its fighting against all kinds of discriminatory practices that racism implies. They are as the UN resolution, has classified, "based on race, color, descent or national or ethnic origin"


• It is the violation of the fundamental principle of human rights, which proclaims that all men are equal, not necessarily in income, wealth or capabilities, but in DIGNITY.


• Cast practices may be quite different from racial practices. But the subjects of those practices are all subject of gross violation of human rights and every state must accept the responsibility to redress that violation.


• Human Rights must get precedence over all other concern.

The line which impresses me the most is every citizen in this world might no be equal in Income, Wealth or Capabilities but everybody is equal in DIGNITY!!!And that's the Morale of the story. We got to respect each and every individual irrespective of the nature of his caste.

"Caste cannot be abolished by inter caste dinners or stray instances of inter caste marriages. Caste is a state of mind. It is a disease of mind." By: Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

The Indians need to understand the harm that poison of casteism is doing to them in such a progressive world, they also need to understand that if they take proper measures and manage to come out of this vicious net of social evil there can be no looking back in terms of social,political and economical progress of their society.

I can just spread the word around and would pledge you too to do that!!!
