Hi, I fail to understand this concept of oppressed
& downtrodden classes. India has been in existence
for the past 60 years, before that we had over 200
yrs of British rule and another 300 yrs of Mughal
rule. Did this rulers give preferential treatment
on basis of caste? Weren't all oppressed equally?
More so in their conversion zeal, the upper castes
were the first to bear the brunt - the others
simply converted. Ashoka was a Buddhist emperor
and he destroyed the caste system creating equal
opportunities for all. That was over 2000 years
ago. So pls let me know when did this so called
discrimination happen. Yadava community claims to
be an OBC. Lord Krishna was a Yadava-- was he
discriminated or worshipped? TN, Karnataka hv had
reservations for the past 50 years - let these
states provide quantified results and outcome of
their experiments. Is it really helping the
downtrodden or all benefits are being reaped by
the creamy layer in garb of social justice and
equality?
Yours Sincerely,
