We cannot expect results overnight. A change takes place over a period. Even if they force drastic changes in the society, they will be short lived and again the country reverts back to it's original state.

Wisdom lies in giving  time for anything to happen and give fruitful results.

 

To say that society should change on its own never happens. The great changes in society like the French and Russian revolutions were by naked force. Similarly kemel Ataturk modernize Turkey by force. If you read soldiers used to cut the long dresses of the women with their swords so that they wear skirts and Turkey modernised. No change comes on its own. It may take a thousand years. We have not been able to eradicate caste for 3000 years though many reformers like Nanak and other came. Unfortunately the youth in India is moribund and we never had a revolution. That is our problem

Change never takes place overnight. First of all a Change is not accepted and then ridiculed. It's but natural. But over a period the fruits of Change will surface up. Rome was not built in a Day.

I agree. The vested sections of society benefited by the unjust social system will never like to change. The oppressed people have to be enlightened so that they may fight for their just status. 

Oppressed sections of the society should rise and raise their voice against these social evils.

All these are social evils and must be removed completely but the problem is there is no law could do this, it is the thinking process that should be refined, hoping for such clear state of mind of all where every Indian would feel the same. 

Law need not be there for doing a good work. Self realization makes the things fine.

 

These are noble thoughts, but not borne out by reality.

The issue is really that Hindu religion is intrinsically inhuman.  The brahmins emerged from mouth, Khtriya from arms, Vaishya from stomaqch and shudra from feet of Brahma. So ho can the upper caste women tolerate even shadow of Dalit.  Theis is precisly the reasosn why lower castes are tempted to convert to other religions.  The Hindu way of life is obviously ant human and anti depressed people. 

I agree with you. I wonder whether people will ponder that 40% of the sub continent who were all Hindus converted to Islam .

 

That is the way Hindu religion goes it is oldest and still continues to survive despite Europe and Middle east discarded their older religion to convert to Christianity and Islam respectively but still religion Hindu survives and of course in united India due to emergence of Pak large scale force conversion so as per the statistics related with caste ism for prime reason of convergence does not suffice. 

The main reason for conversions is poverty. Till poverty is eradicated which i know is a herculean task conversions will go on.

 

I feel its an in human towards the low caste girls.Even  I heard some people punish low caste people for having water from the well or river which upper caste people are having. This shows how people are uneducated. But ofcourse now even well educated people also became like that. i wish such things should get stopped. We should thank Dr.Br.Ambedkar for fighting against the lowcaste people. But still that inhumanity is continuing.

Thanks God girls are no more required to bring water from rivers or wells. The water of rivers is undrinkable and there are almost no wells left in our area. Well, jokes apart, in our part of the country people rarely face such problems. 

Most of the old age villages have such fantasy of showing difference between low caste and upper caste. I wish it should also vanish and our country become a good secular country.

It is these false beliefs and foolish notions the country is driven back to centuries. If a Nation's priority is development, these beliefs should be nipped in the bud.

 

It happens and it is widespread not only in villages but also in small towns and comparatively in metros people have hardly any time to think about such issues. 

Very true. Such practices are not just restricted to far off places. These are prevalent in Urban regions too. A plague to the society.

 

I agree with you Rambabu garu, such practices are been mostly in Urban regions as people feel them untouchables and they restrict them from moving socially with people. They look after them very low which is very bad on their part.

In Our urban societies no one cares what caste you belong to. In our area a mere complaint can make you avail free boarding and lodging for weeks or even for months.

No Sunil, these evil beliefs are prevalent in Urban areas. But they will be hidden under the mat. These will be there in every nook and corner of Indian society. Difference is some are open while some are hidden.
