I also think that all forms of discrimination based on caste, colour or religion should be dealt with very seriously. Fortunately, the Indian constitution provides laws against all forms of discrimination. Unfortunately, Indian politicians(of all castes) and the bureaucracy have been very lax in applying these laws. I pray for an end to all forms of organised religion based on dogmas, and sincerely believe that peace will come once this is achieved.
