'Caste has become a beacon of democracy in India'

'Every person has two identities in India, that of his caste and nation.''It is understandable in a multi-caste, multi-religious society and I don't mind this.''What I mind is the State has failed in doing enough to melt these two identities in such a way that everybody has access to citizenship which is more important than your caste.''That is why people remain in the narrow identities of his caste or religion.'
