But original comment is a lie. There are thousands of castes all over the country - different in every state. So education boards create categories (named 1,2A,2R etc.) Each such category is an umbrella for x number of castes. And perhaps this category is indicated next to students' name and not the caste itself.
- kelnos 6y agoYou can only assert that the comment is a lie if you've visited every university in India and have verified that what the OP says isn't true, and can provide evidence that you've done so.

Expressing polite, respectful skepticism is fine; accusing someone of lying without presenting evidence of that lie is not.

- lopmotr 6y agoYour reason for asserting that it doesn't exist is that you have 7 years experience of not seeing it. That's simply logically invalid. You shouldn't be believing yourself. You're speaking in overly certain terms without justification which makes your claim seem unreliable and using insults makes it appear that you have an axe to grind - which is also a sign of being untrustworthy. Did you notice you just contradicted yourself too? "you will NEVER see [...] "dalit". And even when it days dalit [...]"
