- kcsomisetty 6y agoI would acknowledge that opportunities were denied based on caste, But 'Denied education for 2700+ years' is a strong claim with out any proof is taking your argument little too far. Aatukuri Molla was a celebrated poet, not from upper caste. She faced initial resistance not because of her caste, but because of her choice not to use sanskrit while translating the epic ramayana to Telugu. Once she proved her talent, she was granted audience to emperor and awarded with title 'Gem of Poets'. Her version of ramayana is still popular to this day. Annamacharya, is also another poet who being a brahmin, also faced similar resistance from established scholars because he composed his poems with local lingo rather than sanskrit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atukuri_Molla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atukuri_Molla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annamacharya https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annamacharya Dont confuse elitism with casteism.
- eklavya 6y agoAre you just stuck on the caste thing? Why do you bring it in in every conversation about India? Wtf has it got to do with reliance?
- naruvimama 6y agoYes, we should celebrate new India breaking free of the upper castes and democracy coming of age. What can be a better sign than PM Narendra Modi & President Abdul Kalam - by far the most popular leaders of India. My dear friend better days are ahead of us.
