We discussed the need of being Indian in the previous post. Today is Vijay Diwas ,the day we successfully retained our LOC back. We were proud of that moment as Indians. Even today we celebrate as Indians. Hence being Indian is within us and we can easily get adopted to it. Today we use it for anything related to Pakistan either War, Cricket etc., But the day we adopt it generally nd be proud of being Indian we move towards step 2 of Casteless and Colourless India.
Another Villain who promotes racism in India is our movies. The comic characters are the poison that spreads racism. They use wither the caste based roles or region based roles and seed poison in the mind of young generation. They so design the characters so that some controversy should happen which in turn can be used as a promotional material for the movie.
The characters who Pronounce any language differently is made mockery. For a moment we forget that the day we go out to a different country where the language is wither alien to us or we have little knowledge we are going to be on the other side of the table and a subject to mockery. Take for example the person who did the role of Chathur Ramalingam in 3-idiots. He pronounced Hindi differently and we make mockery on others using his style. But he used that at of innocence on a language to get more similar rolls and make money out of it. Now tell me who is Idiot, we OR the person who used our weakness and converted that into money making machine?
The only way to stop is show our apathy in accepting it and tell our concern explicitly.
I would like to conclude by quoting what JFK said to the fellow Americans on January 20th 1961.Ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country. John F. Kennedy. (to read the full speech visit http://www.famousquotes.me.uk/speeches/John_F_Kennedy/5.htm)

WE Transformed India-2050 (WETRI) Series: Identifying ourselves
Now that we have moved a step forward by understanding that caste system is a simply imaginary line drawn , let us see how can we push the line backward
To go into the core o the problem first of all we need to understand who we are. In short we know we all are Humans. But what we need to recognize in addition to that is we are all Indians. Only when we go out of India and only when we meet people of any other country. The moment we meet another person of Indian origin we forgot the country and retard to the region we belong. The proud of being an Indian goes off and the language, colour and the region takes pride.
I am sure it is not prevalent only in India but in many countries. But here is explicit. The need of the day is to cross this barrier and be proud of being an Indian. Indian in India will be the dream come true and if it happens, the target 2050 can be easily achieved much before.
So, from today when asked a question where do you belong from, our answer should be “ I’m from Northern part of India OR say from Southern part of India but Not as North India or South India. WE Transform India. Let us Unite India.

WE Transformed India (WETRI) Series – Identify the gaps to create a caste less India
Some of us have taken oath to work on transforming India for the better future of our grandchildren. You may wonder why I a always talking about grand children. Because change takes time to get implemented. Especially change in society takes generations…---
Before we move on we need to understand the basics one again. We always talk about God and Demon? Has anyone seen it? I will say yes, I have seen, I see them everyday in my life. Ys friends, I am talking about the human being whom I refer as God and Demon. If the soft, honest, disciplined, obedient, ever smiling feature of us is explicitly visible then we see god in there and if the arrogant, dishonest, ruthless features of us is explicitly visible then we see a Demon there. In short we play the dual role in our life every day. ---
Another basic is “caste”. What is it? It was just a self disciplined system created once upon a time to draw a line on the job role of a person like we practice in our office. The team which understands the need, plan the actions and educate others to implement the action is called “ Managers”, The team which executes the action is called “Engineers”, The team which provides any other support is called “Helpers”. This is exactly how the caste system was also decided. ---
But instead of understanding that it is role we play during our short stay in this world we get involved in the character and turn into one. Instead of believing I am a Human and working as Executive now, he is a human working as Helper now, we believe that I am an executive and he is my helper. When ever an executive sees a helper, the Demon characters of the Human in the executive induce him to show his power on the Helper and keep him under his feet. This exactly what happened in our caste system, Some people who declared themselves as higher or middle or what ever you say started taking advantage of the power and facilities and made the thin invisible boundary line which was made just to define the work role we need to play and created a wall.---
Few years back there was a similar wall between East Germany and West Germany and our generation decided to break it and in a short time we forgot east and west and we only remember Germany now. ---
So, Nothing is impossible, if we decide to do so. Let us see how can we break the wall on caste in coming days.. if you have some innovative plan to break this barrier let us know…
