Speech On Caste Discrimination
"Change is one thing. Acceptance is another"
Change took place in our nation long back in 1947 when India got independence from the colonial
powers, but have we accepted the change yet? Caste Discrimination is a taboo. It is a "no–no" topic
of discussion on official papers. Regardless of being abolished constitutionally, caste based
discrimination is followed in various parts of the country. One cannot blatantly blame the Northern

pyramidal structure followed, where Brahmins at the top and the Shudhras managed to get the
bottom most layer of the pyramid. It was a pietistic system where the higher castes molded the rules

fine example of twisting the rules according to one's own needs can be seen from works like
"Deliverance" by Premchand and "Untouchable" by Mulk Raj Anand. In Deliverance, the priest
