Education going nasty; caste cards replace ID cards



The contemporary Indian education system has now begun to take an entirely different route. And the credit to this change goes to St. Agnes High School, Muttachira, in Kerala's Kottayam district. But wait, this change doesn't appear to behold the bright future India is heading towards. It appears to take our nation a few decades backwards, and again put the act of discrimination into national practice. Caste cards replacing ID cards.

Indian civilization is the greatest civilization ever, we say. Our culture and heritage have got unmatched reputation, and our country is a secular country. We say everybody is equal before the law, and the Indian judiciary doesn't care which caste or community you are from. The offenders will be punished, and the innocent will be salvaged from the clutches of darkness. For the past 64 years we have been proclaiming, that India deserves to be mentioned as the perfect example for the universal adage, 'Unity in Diversity'.
But lets rethink. 'Unity in Diversity', or 'Diversity in Unity' ?
