The Caste System was outlawed 60 years ago!!!

When I heard this news, that the Caste System has been abolished 60 years ago, I thought that perhaps all this talk about the Dalit and their Freedom is old news...

So, I began digging a bit deeper.  Yes, it is true, the Indian Constitution no longer permits discrimination based on caste.  So then, what's the big deal?

Of the age groups that typically challenge social order, I think this group is the University age group, 18 - 24 year olds.  So, if 60 years ago this age group was a part of the change of the law, they would now be in their 80's.  It is reasonable that they never really adopted or accepted this change in the system.

Is it reasonable that the NEXT generation would accept this new law and have an affect on their behaviors?  Perhaps.

Is it more reasonable that the NEXT generation after this (now the grandkids of the University age people mentioned above) would accept the new law?  Probably or at least more than the previous generation - right?

Is it even more reasonable that the THIRD generation after the first would accept this new law (as we are now 45 - 60 years later?  One would think so!

So, CERTAINLY by the FOURTH generation (great - grandkids) would now accept and have adopted this new law and changed their behavoirs!?!

Watch this video and you tell me what you think!

Please pass this on to concerned friends and FOLLOW my blog if you care to. 
Next Blog will be asking for your help in coming up with a catchy name for the business we will start which is designed with employing the Dalit's of India in mind.

Thanks again for walking along side me through this journey with impoverished people groups across the globe.
