People grow up people expand they travel and make new clans. This has been followed from ancient times. You read any mythology or ancient books related to some king or queen or God they always mention of migration of people from one place to another and gaining that place's identity. People loose their origin and take up new identity and this is how a whole new personality comes into the world.
Life has been so complicated for people of India that this very problem of identity has brought up the system of caste, creed and culture into existence. As per ancient descriptions people were defined on the basis of the work they did and not surnames so the caste term evolved. Say if you are a warrior you belong to Kshatriyas and if you work on gold or jewels you are a Soni or sonar. This was all fine until people started discriminating castes from uppers and lowers which definitely paved the way for Indian people to limit themselves from sharing talent, knowledge and even food!
As the decades passed by this separation entered our education system also and thus teaching the next gen of kids from child hood itself the differences of caste and the relevant facilities. The categories became more prominent like the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes for the tribal people or people migrated and had origin from not so famous cultures. Then came the general category of Open ness where all the people who had a rich culture, religion, higher value and higher designations in the society. And some fell in OBC or the other backward class. This spread across each and every system of governance be it politics, administration or education. All the categorized people got concession in grades, jobs, admission to educational institutes except the one belonging to Open category.
This is a big irony... Ancient people made these segregation and they only made the concession system. Why?
And we keep reading the pledge where we say in India.. All my brothers and sisters are equal ..
What are we teaching ourselves for the first ten years of our education? That we separate the people based on caste their work, keep them away, give them concessions and still treat them like that of untouchables!!
So many partitions have been done in India.. First the region then religion like Hindu Muslim Christian etc.. Then the caste.. We keep following this for ages and promote for one India one nation. How will it be ever possible if we don't get rid of this whole confused policies?
I have grown in no different environment from the one described above but as I m taking minor steps into the world out there... I m realizing what we kept thinking we kept teaching ourselves needs a 180 degrees of shift.
People everywhere should not be given concession based on the caste or religion. Students and jobs should purely be admitted in organizations based on talent and other soft skills or leadership quality.
This whole discrimination system should be revamped or removed.
This change is necessary to make India as one or else india will remain divided and we will continue to fight for unity!
Making a better place to live is in our hands..... Jai Bharat..
