But that is mere quibling on the words. Both are discrimination based on prejudice. Things are changing a lot in India and there is hope that this will no longer be a serious problem soon.milieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16029969621924505200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913243.post-1150296485643050192006-06-14T20:18:00.000+05:302006-06-14T20:18:00.000+05:30I've been reading all the links on your post. What...I've been reading all the links on your post. What i find interesting is comparing your struggle with our own Civil Rights Movement. Tho our struggle has not been with caste but racism. There are so many parallels. <BR/><BR/>I esp.like the article by sam Pitroda & what he says about Primary education being the proper key. Also his statement that; "Technology is a great leveler second only to death." <BR/><BR/>& Prof. Gopinathan makes a good point about being dependent on charity & crutches;<BR/>"If you opt for charity & crutches you will always remain a reciever of charity living on borrowed crutches."<BR/><BR/> The US has a huge welfare society.(people living off the charity of the Government, i.e. the taxpayers) Why? Partly, because of human nature. Partly circumstances...The point is once you start down that road it's not easy to change, I think. <BR/><BR/>Anyway thanks for some interesting reading. It's broadening my perspective.concerned citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01935396158050893085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913243.post-1150120128635470652006-06-12T19:18:00.000+05:302006-06-12T19:18:00.000+05:30I have been interested in "reservation" for a long...I have been interested in "reservation" for a long time.
