Why? One can easily opt out. There is no law forcing anyone to follow his birth jati or varna. In the ongoing caste census in tamilnadu, all dominant jati groups - vanniyar, kongu vellalar and many others have instructed their birth based jati members to register their caste status without fail.

Last year, during the national population census, the lady enumerator collected most of the essential details (name, age, family members, status, income group etc.) but did not ask me the caste status. When I instructed her to ask that question and fill that column, the smart lady said - there is no need sir, I know and filled it myself!

All knowledge is available to the interested, in most cases for a price. Even vedas. Times of india is advertising its 2 DVD pack of all four vedas complete in samskrit chanted by priests from karnataka and varanasi, with translation in english and hindi, and launched worldwide in 9 languages. This is also claimed to be 'national best seller'.

When was education and knowledge denied to all? Never in the history of bharat.

Mr. Srikrishji,
Well said.
I think this birth based division should be abolished. Knowledge should be freely available to all.
