To devour ideas over these topics requires immense scholarship works, but some time our hearts also provides enough hints for directing our views and prompts to study available material on these ideas. Whenever I shall get time, I would like to delve in this topic.
As soon as election is declared either in Bihar or in UP, every one starts talking about need of development and casteism as the great blockade for achieving these goals. People are making wild guess that here people specially villagers are not voting for development for just voting on their caste line.
While discussing with my friend, today I realized that though people are voting on caste line, they are still voting for development. One have to understand the fact that development for whom? Development for those who are talking about this or development for the voter themselves. Democracy gives strength to every one to caste vote not for the development of others, but for the development for themselves. Everyone makes some calculation keeping in mind their own security, benefits, interest and then only caste votes. As our societies has been divided on caste line and their economic condition has also been largely decided by their caste, they believe that their development lies in the development of the members of their own caste.
Lack of Communication: As people generally communicate among their own groups (mostly members of their own caste), they new very well that if some benefit will come, then that will come only through this channel. Endogamy is the characteristic of caste has almost made communication between different caste impossible. Schools, colleges, religious affairs and other group activities have started offering doors for developing inter-caste communication and relations.
