For most of the people caste oppressive reality - it has not gone anywhere, we can't remind ourselves enough of that.

Recently in Kammapatti, the local Kambalathu Nayakars stopped sending their children to school because the saththuNavu koodam was manned by Dalits. And so the government transferred the Dalit staff

The additional collector defended this discrimination by saying: 'this is a peculiar habit of that caste to not eat food cooked by other castes'. Check out this article - ignore the dumb title!

And mind you TN is one of the leading states when it comes to social mobility of Dalits. ingayE indha nilamai - with govt supporting discrimination to boot - then just imagine the situation in places in North Indies.

Remember Periyar came out of Congress, because they were using party funds to support the gurukulam in Cheranmadhevi, where permission was given to brahmin boys to dine privately, because their parents did not want them to dine in a samapandhi bOjanam. And that was in the 1920s!
