This is a political forum that is non-biased/non-partisan and treats every person's position on topics equally. This debate forum is not aligned to any political party. In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

Is Kaavya the cheater?
Hi guys and gals, what do you think of Kaavya Viswanathan? Do you think she could cheat at age 17 or had her parents lied about her age? Are the people who are promoting her at fault for not respecting copyright of creativity or her parents who are madly obsessed with promoting a maybe not that... -

India has a 'caste system'
I don't think Congress passed any bill on the discrimination of untouchables in India. Looks like we pick and choose among various unethical behaviours and societies in the world. -

'Caste' India
I didn't say stop investing. I said we need to expect a change - a radical change - not cosmetics. How many elected Dalits have been India's Prime Minister or held any key ministeral post? I guess you had a Dalit President but your President is a ceremonial post selected by the government and... -

'Caste' India
I don't buy you explanation. Mainly for the reason that while you say that corruption persists in India, you seem to also require that we invest in India the way we are doing not expecting a change. Hey, this will only feed the corrupt - as its has been happening since the 90's. I just happen to... -

A question if anyone can answer related to 'Caste' system in India
As I have been debating in other sections about 'Caste' system in India being followed even today - the plight of the 'Dalits' - meaning 'Untouchables' - is ignored by us. We had the civil rights movement - the citizens of this world put an end to aparthied in South Africa and slavery in Africa... -

India has a 'caste system'

India has a 'caste system'
http://www.dalits.org/ Excuse me, please check the site about. These sites are not 'flaming' sites. They are credible sites. They are concerned at something which should be ended immediately in culture and not just in cosmetic laws. What has religion to do with it? I did not even know that it... -

India has a 'caste system'
I don't know if this is part of a religion or is it just culture - I just know and it is a fact that 'Dalits' are prosecuted and this act of discrimination is a cult in my view. I post the same thread in another section - because I later doubted if this belongs to religion or not. If it does... -

'Caste' India
Hey, in whatever news site I check and according to the author of the article at the top, the reforms are ceremonial and the culture has not changed a bit. These poor folks don't have access to basic living and justice is not in their reach. Check out this site: http://www.dalits.org/ It... -

'Caste' India
Seriously, if we want, we can influence them to reform. The United States can decrease their import quotas for example and expect changes. The commonwealth nations can do the same. Somebody has to speak up for these poor folks. If we pour money into this country at our expense and then what we... -
