I wonder, if it is time for India to caste away castes and tell people to go out and vote rather than go out and cast(e) their votes. I also wonder whether it is time for We The People to reject fragmented politics in India. I find that there is no meaningful discussions on these aspects in the media, for fear or sustenance or whatever. For instance, though SG has talked sense, it propagates more intolerance and is propagating divisive thoughts. Nobody is rejecting such commentaries. I again wonder why? These are thoughts expressed briefly. The subject is vast and begs for widespread discussions.
Tailpiece: A view is that the reservation policies as exists today, mostly introduced with votes and power in mind, does more harm than good for those who are to benefit from them. Also, the reservation policies creates a divide where injustice is dispensed to a section of the society for something perceived to have been done by people many generations ago. While wealth can be redistributed, redistribution of justice is undemocratic and, if I may, unjustified!
Disclaimer: I am for empowerment for the all those disadvantaged sections of society. But actions for that have to be commensurate with the aim and not drive by an agenda to seek votes and power. Media should also realise this.
