    There will be law soon in Karnataka “upper caste law “ or “anti lower cast jihad”. One religion /community is not treating their own people equally what can be expected from them for other religion?

    Sorry, but in 21st century, Upper Caste, Dalit etc., does not make sense. This kind of motivated assault must be taken to task by law enforcement agencies with a tough hand. Sri Krishna, Sri Rama were not from Upper Caste. Vidhura, the first PM of akhanda bharath by birth was also not from upper caste. Duryodhana at his time used this fact to suit his political end, but Pandavas always considered him as Chikkappa and Duryodhana's father considered him as his younger brother. This caste based difference did not matter then, and today in the internet age is at best embarrassment and vision less (neither backward compatible nor forward compatible). At the very least if one considers himself upper caste (there is no superior or inferior Varna actually) understand what it means backed with historical evidence and data. Let us all mature based on proper history rather than indulge ourselves with embarrassment.
