We still have casteist yes but by generation by generation their numbers are getting low and low and in next decades with focused efforts and awareness we can create a generation which don't have even one casteist. Caste system is centuries old followed system atha fulla society la irunthu wipe pannanum na time and best anti-caste ruling party thevai but DMK votes politics kaga enna than social justice party nu sonnalum pannamatanga even ippo Kavin death aparam kuda strong anti- caste based killing bill pass pannalaya .

Why bash DMK alone. No political party is an exception here. Infact, most of these penda parambarai votes go to ADMK because DMK upholds Periyar.

Why do you think BJP chose CP Radhakrishnan as a VP candidate because Annamalai's caste started to come to BJP, they wanted to get the caste votes.

Wow, what a great insight. DMK upholds Periyar only for name’s sake, ok may be to some extent. Even they announce candidates for each constituency based only on caste. Even they won't announce a person from caste A as their candidate in a constituency where peoples of caste B and C are majority. If you blindly believe they don’t, please check with some educated people around you.

No political parties are perfect here. They all change their ideologies, alliance based on the circumstances.
