This incidence has brought back caste problem in India. Many international humanitarian organisation have again started demanding various world bodies to recognize caste system in India to be equivalent of racism. Religion and caste have been very important in India for centuries. Many political parties in India survive purely on caste and religion. This recent incident can be directly attributed to India’s failure in social reformation.
Most probably, caste system has been being kept alive by Indian political class as well as intellectuals. They take a side of one caste and use choicest of words to describe how particular caste faces discrimination in India and need to organise themselves. These two classes have the highest stake in caste and religion related problems as they are the only beneficiary.
