Social Systems still not changed?



People fight with each other on many issues and qualities like jealousy, selfishness and having no willingness to accept and appreciate the truth. It is there in every society and India is no exception. It must be there in the highly developed western world including America though they are known for the differences between black and white; and between few groups in the same community. 

A substantial section of people in India criticize the caste system and constant quest for community domination. 

With the help and efforts of great people like Dr.Ambedkar, and post-independence, India has seen a remarkable change in reducing the community differences. 

But, still, even in 2013, caste discrimination and quest for community domination is a reality and no one can deny it. 

People and communities do not learn lessons on their own unless pushed to a particular situation and under compulsion, certain changes will come. Caste discrimination has reduced in this country under some compulsions and changing realities. However, this mean, cowardly & dirty mentality of fantasizing by putting others down still continues. 

People who have suffered alot with community discrimination also, at times, adopt the same old path unfortunately by indulging in reverse-discrimination.

I hope that there will be a definite change in India in mind-sets though it may take another 50 years or 100 years. 

I have heard somewhere Dr.Ambedkar saying that future generations will decide about his contribution to the society. The generation after 100 years may not realize the value of contribution made by people like Dr.Ambedkar and others, but, this generation in 2013 decides that his contribution to Indian society is one of the best in 20th century and remembered even in 21st Century. 

With all the qualification and talent, there is no reason for Dr.Ambedkar to neglect his personal life and issues for society. But, he has done it and that's why, he will be remembered in this country by many more generations to come. 

Note: the views expressed are my personal.
