Casteism is a very serious issue in Hindu society, As it is divided in to 4 cast, brahmin , kshtirya, vaisya , shudra. Schedule caste people are most troubled and exploited cast in this religion...and I am still suprised that why these people can not revolt against so called hindu caste system. This caste system is nothing but to satisfies upper cast people ego, if you know there are castes inside cast like in brahmin(naan dhoti baman, thul dhoti baman, haw bani baman, flaan jagak bhatt, falan jagak pandey etc.. )and class hierarchy inside SC's too(people who do leather work are considered inferior than other in SC society by themselves only), people of the society got satisfied by calling themselves superior...
SC's are the aboriginal people of uttarakhand, they were here before coming brahmin or kshtriya, they are the people who kept our tradition, culture alive, they are the
holiyar, they built wooden product, wooden house, wooden craft, they sing traditional song , they play traditional instrument..they know bronze work....they do all kind of jobs on which a society got established but still they are not treated equally.
And the solution should come from SC community itself, no other people will care for it, and as I feel, the one and only one solution to eradicate this problem is to boycott religion, if a religion can not give dignity to someone ,then only solution is to boycott that religion. B.R ambedakar shown the right path to the community of SC by converting themselves to buddhism.
