Caste them out


Whenever I heard the word CASTE I always remembered one book by Prof Deepak Lal which is The Hindu Equilibrium India c.1500 B.C. - 2000 A.D.”


Abstract: India is an emerging giant. This book explains its long economic stagnation and recent rise by examining its social, political, and historical evolution with a long-term perspective. It explains how its distinct social system based on caste arose and why it still is of importance in its political and social arrangements, despite India's recent move from the plan to market.


By the way the Indian Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar said:


“I have always worked towards a casteless society. The aim of the founding fathers of the Constitution has been to establish a casteless society. Anything which leads to that, would take us further in that direction is welcome,”
