Delhi (The Stellar News) Report- Saksham Kalia: In this country where everyone is enjoying his/her rights and is expressing its views on each and every topic, but what if the views of these socially expressive people is influenced by their caste. When India got independence, as a result of sacrifice of hundreds of people, the vision was that everyone in this country will express its views and will enjoy its fundamental rights but under fundamental duties.
While in this current scenario the reality is going somewhere else, as from common men to political parties everyone is so influenced with their caste and religion. As common men is voting by taking the caste of politician into consideration and these elected politicians are launching schemes considering the voting percentage of the particular area.
Darkest reality of present scenario of India is that taking birth into majority caste is curse because you are not judged with your capabilities, you are ignored with so called system of country. But the same is happening with lower caste people but in other way. Lower caste people who really need help from government are unaware of the facilities.
Caste system in India is biggest obstacle in the secularism of country, if you want to know the real secularism of country then see the harsh reality of rural areas where people are demanding separate crematoriums for SC/ST and upper caste. they are taking sides of their caste colleague no mattter he/she is right or wrong. This is the result of diversification in religions and caste by previous governments for their political benefits.
Many parties in India are working on the basis of caste, when they came into power they launch policies and schemes on the basis of caste. They announce if we came into power we will give jobs to this particular caste people. Name of prominent places are renamed on leaders who did something for a definite caste not for country.
This is ridiculous that freedom fighters are seen from the frame of caste and religion not with their sacrifice. The awareness can play a key role in the updating the mindset of people so that they cannot vote on the basis of caste and religion.
But the authorities, have responsibility to aware people are governments, who are using caste and religion to gain profit in elections. So, that’s only upon people, so that rich people can’t use reservation for their children and poor upper caste will not ignored by the eye of government and society.
