The article, “ >Prejudice disguised as politeness ” (May 30), was both thought provoking and provocative. The Constitution bans untouchability in any form but, sadly, very few Indians abide by this. There are “few good men” in every walk of life who strive hard to keep “India shining. The father of the Indian Constitution dreamt of an India as a just and egalitarian society while even encouraging inter-caste marriage as a great game changer to eradicate casteism. It is entirely up to the next generation to decide whether it wants a caste-conscious, caste-ridden India or a caste-less nation.
