Census enumeration has been started in India. There was acrimonious shouting in the parliament over the need to include caste in the census enumeration process. Some wanted and others opposed. The fact is that caste profiling and subsequent discrimination is wide spread in India. In the 3 decades my consciousness of caste ( well, i belong to one of those backward classes, i see caste profiling , grouping increasing among the educated men and women, shamelessly. While we talk about colour discrimination and apartheid elsewhere. The worst discriminatory system is in India. few castes have dominated the indian society by design and continue to do so. In this aspect, the state of andhrapradesh is the worst affected.Just to remember recently, the APPSC (a government organisation) with a mandate to select the candidates for key government jobs, discriminated the candidates from lowercastes and favored the upper castes, whose performance in the examination was far inferior ! That's in the jobs sector.
Yesterday, one village head (Sarpanch in local vernacular) near Tirupati city, belonging to lower caste, but duly elected by his village men,has been thrown out of his house ! He is not allowed to carry out his duties as village head, by the well entrenched upper caste politicians !!. So, that's in politics. Who says caste is not issue in India?
