I think the Why has been answered by a few netters in 
my bouts of absence from the scene. I think everyone in
India realises at the literate public realises the evil
of Caste system. The govt. is trying to root  it out.
But ultimately it is the people themself who would decide
the attitudes of society to such evil practices. This virus
has been with us for the last severval hundred years and
it is interesting to note that it originated out of the
desire of Aryans who invaded and won to keep out the local
folks from their midst. Such drastic changes cannot be expected
to be in effect overnight. It might be a few genrations
before the signs of the changes appear. It is being realised
that education,incentives and the economic devolopment of
socially backward classes is the only way to bring forth
this change. It seems that even today such abhorent practices
as not letting anyone draw water from any well of his choice,
denying entry into places of worship or denying anyone the
right to live anywhere he wants; is being practised as
Mr. Martillo seems to have us beleive. I am just saying
things would slowly change for the better.
 I hope no one forgets what happened to the black couple
 who moved into the white middle class neibhourhood in
 Philadelphia recently. Every one should realise that no
 society is perfect. Changes in attitudes and perceptions
 of society many a times take long to come into vouge.
