“Hence one way to overcome it is to have reservations since the Euro-centric model suggests that. If you decide to carry the cross or burden which others impose, then you begin to impose the solution provided by them. In a sense, the debate does not distinguish between caste discrimination and caste as a social capital. The cry to abolish caste is to homogenise Indian society which has been attempted by many reformers but has not been successful.”
