I agree they had very noble intentions but good intentions do not always beget good results.
So what is your solution for it?

If I could wind the clock back 60 years, I'd make identifying people by caste unconstitutional in situations like hiring or education. Similar to what the US did in terms of minorities. If you can prove that an employer or organization discriminated against you based on caste, you can take them to court.
More generally I'd encourage people to make caste distinctions an irrelevance. Certainly I wouldn't write the distinctions into law.
India needs to re-colonization by the British.
When the British governance to India, India is a civilized country.
I would say UP is the worst state in India right now, and I would blame this on SP (Malayam Singh) and the BSP (Mayawati) who have turned the state into their playground for caste based politics of the worst kind.

sorry but indians are not in favour of killing millions.
And the crazy thing is..... She is a Dalit!!
India is a strange country, It has these problems, but elected a Dalit as the President of the nation... It is something I think for sure it will get over. The young educated people there know this system has no place in the modern world and in modern and future India.
Let India have its social revolutions.

Of course they are, but that's precisely the problem. The castes have been politicized and now politicians are dead afraid to do away with backward caste benefits. They'd get crucified at the ballots.
Cardsharp, you are probably the only non Indian on this forum who has made a genuine attempt to understand the issues India faces. I must commend you for that.
A president or a PM can not change the mentality prevailing for thousands of years. Its only educated lot that has to do away with cast system in Hinduism instead of defending it by coming up with lame excuses.
Only change in mentality is the key to reforming this evil
Comes from hanging around here too long. heh
