    As long as casteism persists, India's journey towards becoming a superpower and a truly democratic nation with equitable growth will face challenges. The Constitution of India, a remarkable document, ensures equal rights and representation for all communities in the country. This embodies the beauty of our constitution. However, the reality on the ground is still marked by deeply ingrained casteist attitudes. People often experience elation or dejection based on their birth into a Brahmin family or an upper caste, while those belonging to the Shudra(Bunt,Billava,Sikh,maratha ,vokkaliga etc) or lower caste, such as Dalits, are made to feel inferior. It is high time we recognize and address this curse of a caste-based society and consign it to the annals of history

    Even though, I don't say people of Karnataka are saints, can we please keep an eye for those outsiders who comes to Karnataka and treat the locals with injustice? Those people who migrate to Karnataka for better paid job should remember that there are many less fortunate local people live here too.
