Likewise, "untouchable" meant not to go near them, don't touch them, don't intermarry with them and don't corrupt their culture don't try to conform them. Leave them alone!
Is it done to discriminate against the tribal as "untouchables" or is it done to protect them?
The State of Assam was a similar tribal area until it got overran by zealous Christian Missionaries that have destroyed their social fiber and their culture.
Westerners can't seem to resist the temptation of trying to impose their political and social values and religions on other cultures!
Many modern country of today still have primitive tribal living undisturbed, "uncivilized" and untouched by their society living around them? As they do in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India? Did you know that these islands are off limits to all Indian citizens, to protect these tribal?
Traditional knowledge handed down from generation to generation helped to save ancient tribes on India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands from the worst of the tsunami, anthropologists say.
Less voting bright democracy!
Is voting of less than 50% and gating majority votes among this percentage which is divided among more than two candidates is democracy? Is present government representing the peoples of India? Is Gandhi dynasty not such reserve caste which rule India undemocratically and unconstitutionally?
Italian Columnist Elisabetta Povoledo reported about the Polls published in several national newspapers recently highlighted a growing disillusionment on the part of Italians for their political class.
"When you think of politics what pops into your mind?" asked a survey published by Corriere della Sera.
"Negative feelings like disgust, diffidence, anger, boredom," replied 58 percent of those polled, as opposed to "indifference," which drew 25 percent, and "passion, enthusiasm, commitment," the choice of 17 percent.
Eighty percent of those responding to the agency ISPO for Corriere said they believed that "politicians are interested in people's votes, not their opinions."
"It's not just politicians, it's the Italian mentality that's like this," said Roberto Rocca, a software developer in Rome. "That's why I prefer not to vote."
Who is spreading Italian corrupt political culture in India?
"An oligarchy of insatiable Brahmins" is what Italian politicians have become, the authors, both reporters for Corriere della Sera, write. "Where the Brahmin knows that once he has crossed the threshold into the palace of the Caste they write, "he no longer has to worry about anything. Ever again." Is dynasty of Kashmir Brahman Pandit represents this theory?
"The Caste’s"
"The Caste’s" authors, Sergio Rizzo and Gian Antonio Stella, a microcosm of a crisis that depicts how "a greedy and self-referential political class became a caste and invaded Italian society."
That class, they write, is "becoming increasingly indifferent to the common good and the notion of sound administration in order to nourish itself."
Why in India there is an import of above culture? Should this be called renounce as copied by Sonia Gandhi time-to-time and publicized by the so-called destructive fraudulent secularists?
Democracy of Caste: Secular and Non Secular?
This secular and non-secular division in the non-published self defined in selfish design was come out after the independence to fool the people of India. This system is deeply rooted in Italy prior to India’s Independence. This should be asked from Italian origin Sonia Gandhi whose father was Mussolini loyalist.
Dissatisfaction with the cost of keeping the political class is as an under current of revolt going on in Italy which has been brought here in India also by the Italian born. This dissatisfaction against the political class has reached in the Italy in such a manner to which it has become accustomed has increasingly trickled into the mainstream and is now regular fodder for commentators and comedians. One comic, Beppe Grillo, has organized in Italy Sept. 8 as a day to appeal to "all our politicians - no exceptions - to take a hike."
Quota/Reservation system of untouchable political caste
Expanded quota system means the system that instead of eliminating caste consciousness, it has further entrenched it, making society more aware of divisions and more resentful of rival castes.
Fierce competition for government quota jobs has fueled the inter-caste tension this week. The Meenas, another Rajasthan community in the scheduled caste bracket, protested the Gujjars’ demands, concerned that their, share of the pie would be diminished if the Gujjars were reclassified.
Suicidal fueling to caste system
“It’s about milking the system,” said Dipankar Gupta, a sociologist and expert on caste, adding that Gujjars had never been “brutalized or pushed down” as Dalits had.
Such a “political maneuver” was an inevitable result of the affirmative action policy, he said. “If you play the caste game, you will end up with caste war. Because of the government intervention, these identities have become heightened.”

Is Political Cast-ism not dangerous than the Caste-ism in the society?
Mr. Singh recently compared India’s caste system to South Africa under apartheid. “Unsociability is not just social discrimination,” he said. “It is a blot on humanity.” Dr. Mnmohan Singh feels shame to describe his membership of a untouchable political caste who ruled India being in minority. Is this not black spot on the democracy our glorious ancient Indian system?
The British 'caste system' is more prevalent than the Indian
On July 30, 07 Edward Hamala has analyze the British caste system in a practical way titled “ The British ‘Caste System’ is more prevalent than the Indian ”.
In fact British "caste system" that is even more prevalent, although it is well hidden and "invisible" in the British and some European societies including American, where the nobility still exist, than it is in India today, where all noble titles have been abolished.
Is America without caste-ism?
Reality is that in every society have strata and ethnic groups. In modern America, we call these 'demographic segments' -- there are demographic segments such as 'inner city African Americans', 'rural Hispanics', 'suburban whites', 'Asian immigrants', etc. and these are common terms in consumer marketing. Before 6 years Rajiv Malhotra wrote a fine article on this subject.
The book The Invention of the White Race by Theodore W. Allen gives an interesting insight into how the demographic group we now call’ white' emerged.
Codified or un-codified caste system
A key difference is that in India, caste became explicitly codified, whereas in America social structure by ethnicity or family lineage remains un-codified and subliminal. But what is commonly not pointed out today is that India's smritis (codified rules) pertaining to many topics including caste, were meant to be specific to a given time, place and cultural context and not intended as universal 'commandments' for all people at all times.
Naturally, there were hundreds of smritis made by different people at different times, covering various aspects of social life. Many smritis contradicted.
American caste system is like a kagaroo
The advantage of the un-codified, invisible and often denied phenomenon of the American caste system is that it does not become cast (excuse the pun) in concrete. Rather, the lack of rules make it porous and not impermeable, and open to change over time rather than static. American this system is like a kagaroo, which hides its neck in the sand to think that no one sees it.
