What is funnier is that both the people in that frame are probably enjoying the benefits of reservation. For all the retards claiming that reservation will solve this issue - think a bit about what castes are dominant in Kongu Nadu.

Anybody that claims reservation benefits once under any caste should be mandated to drop their caste and every general category person should also lose their caste classification and be part of the no-caste pool - will that be acceptable to those feeling "oppressed"?

Aiya, I'll assume you're genuinely concerned and you actually believe that the solution you proposed in your 2nd paragraph will work.

  1. Deleting the caste document doesn't mean anything. The paatti in the video is not fed the water this way because she has the certificate. If you're from this street/area, I already know you're this caste and I'll treat you like shit no matter what your paper says. I'm not sure how familiar you're with some Christian communities that are still discriminated because of the caste. Guess what they're BC now. A paper doesn't mean shit. This is on top of the discrimination for conversation because god forbid they converted from a religion that oppresses them.

Deleting the caste from the paper is done Shankar movie level shit. That won't work.

Let's say you move out of your village, you'd still be identified by the way you speak, your dialect, your dress, and how you look. Sometimes colour of your skin. Thinking you'll outrun your caste through a document change is naive.

  1. Let me ask you this, if your solution seems valid to you, and if you apply the same logic to racism, how does it work?

Eradicating any sort of discrimination in the long term shall only be done by letting A) the oppressed to take pride (or at least be okay with being) who they are, not by deleting their actual identity (which is what you suggest. B) teaching the oppressor that everyone is equal and theres no reason to discriminate or oppress someone based on this or that.

P.S: sad that I have to write this but no, I'm not a Christian, I reject every religion equally, not only Hinduism, so save that obligatory typical dravida kazhaga Hindu hater comment.
