Thread: Caste system, How to abolish it?

But we can't deny that even in this 21st century, we are still holding on to that system as if our lives depend on it. Even if someone is gutsy enough to break all the obstacles placed on them by their cast, we still talk behind their backs reminding them which caste they belong in. Is it fair to do so? After all, we're all human beings and it's our duty to respect a fellow human, not judge him/her by their caste or status.

The only thing that should define a human is his/her actions and talents. Other than that, nothing else matters. But still, castes prevail. Is there any way we could abolish caste system and be humans again?
Suggestions welcomed!

I totally hate those people who consider caste kind a things. We all are humans, the is just followed by the ancient people which is divided based on their professions. They keep it because when marriage happens among their caste it will help the girl to adopt easy to the society. But now everyone well educated, still we can't hold it for a long time. The change must happen with in the youngster to stop and build a healthy society without this caste system. Marriages should happen without this caste barriers. Only think I wish to ask the people if you're in a dying condition are you prefer the same caste one's blood to give you???
