stone cold,its true that our politicians need to do a lot..but theres also the issue of the numbers in population and the size of the country ...eradicating an evil like the caste system does take time and a lot has been done/tried /will continue to be done by the government..
and its not only a problem relating to a caste..what has happened is that over hundreds of years that it was actually practised,the lower castes have been reduced to the poorest in society which has nowadays become more an issue of class(in terms of money) differences..can u truly say that all the poor in the world are treated well..by those who are better off than them..all over the world the poorest of the poor are treated shabbily and the respective countries are doing their best..U cant say that we cant call ourselves a democracy bacause the caste system was/(in some cases still is) prevalent..We are proud of being a true democracy..
