> mainstream public discourse is set by whoever can set it, it is free for all No, its not. The ones with social power only will be able to set the narrative in any society. >Caste is largely getting uprooted from society, I don't see this bringing social equality. This is not true. The system stays the same. We are in a modernised casteist society >In truth, now there is a upper-caste among lower-case -- the early beneficiaries of the reservation with whom others in the lower caste can't compete. The point of reservation is for representation. Not for competence or anything else. Again this is a classic upper caste narrative that is pushed repeatedly. Its not an economic upliftment program. Its only for representation.
