Caste&gender based discrimination in India today (Page 4)

      Kerala's society is less patriarchal than the rest of the country. In Kerala Gender relations are among the most equitable in India and the whole of Third World. It is the only state in India where number of females is higher than that of males. The state where female infanticide rates is the lowest.

    Vivekananda called 19th century Kerala, a 'madhouse' after witnessing the deep rooted evil customs related to caste system.  But then some legendary figures emerged from the backward communities. They fought for the rights and dignity of their downtrodden brethen and emerged victorious. Today backward classes including OBCs, SCs and a section of STs(mainly the tribe known as the 'Kanis') are very well organized and have attained great progress compared to their counterparts in other states. The only other state where backward classes are not oppressed today is Andra Pradesh.

    Proof Visit Kerala and see it all for yourself.  Travel around the villages and see how people of different religions and castes peacefully co-exist.

  You learned everything about India in pre-school itself!  So you learned that India is a union of states and M.K. Gandhi is the Father of the nation. Enough information to give long speeches I have seen lots of mor_ns doing that
I believe you,  as I can see from your posts that  you know everything  that an average preschooler knows!

@ Summer bhai

      I read the blog Summer ji. I agree with the blogger about one fact. Both in left and right wing parties you find many prominent leaders from among OBCs and SCs, but very few from among the tribals(STs).
 
               In my earlier post i have mentioned that OBCs, SCs and only a part of the tribals(eg:Kanis) have progressed well. Mainly because reforms reached tribals very late. OBCs and SCs were part of the mainsteam society since time immemorial no? But the case of tribals is entirely different.  Naturally reform occured earlier among OBCs and SCs(during our national movement days) and they attained progress much earlier. Tribals were still living isolated, completely segregated from the others.

           Because of a large number of programmes and policies implemented by successive governments, certain tribes have attained considerable progress and have become part of the mainstream society. For eg. many people from the  Kani community are in the government service and business sector.

              Comming to C.K. Janu(tribal leader mensioned in the blog) what to say, she's worse than Mayavati Corrupt to the core. Instead of working for the upliftment of tribals she is amassing wealth for herself. That's why they kicked her out.

         Kerala's chief minister V.S. Achuthanandan is from a backward community.

      State secretary of CPIM, Pinaray Vijayan(the most powerful one in the party) is from a backward community

 There are prominent ministers belonging to Scheduled castes  in the present cabinet like A.K. Balan.

  How can there be caste discrimination in the political setup, when it is dominated and controlled by leaders belonging to backward communities, when all the power is in their hands!!
