Friends,
Caste and casteism are among the greatest and deep-rooted problems India faces. ignoring this fact will never help. One effective way to combat this may perhaps be to give everyone a liberty to change his/her caste. In that tune, I denounced my Caste a year ago and said I was 'casteless'. I sent this information to the Government to be recorded in official documents but presently there seems to be no rule/precedence in this regards and the matter is pending.
Meanwhile, I raise a few interrelated question to my friends-
1. Isn't the best way to fight casteism is that every individual shall be given liberty to change his/her caste.
2. what is so sacrosanct and nonconvertible about it?
3. Why can't or shalln't we be given the right to be called "casteless" or to change our caste?
4. Where exactly is right to be called "casteless" or to change our caste banned?
The purpose is not to hurt anyone but to raise an important issue that hurts us all
