PROUT Editor's note: Contrary to the claims of many belonging to the higher castes, casteism in India is alive and kicking. The entire caste system, created by arrogant Brahmins, is a disgrace to the Indian subcontinent. A prime goal of PROUT in India is to delete the caste system - wipe it off the face of the earth - and advance the interests of every human being without discrimination. Mr. Laloo Yadav, while notorious for destroying the state of Bihar and putting it in the dark ages, has to be commended on just one point. He has worked hard to eradicate the caste system in Bihar, and the lower castes are beginning to have opportunities that they never had before the arrival of Yadav.

DUMKA: The thirty-year-old infamous Chirudih massacre case, which recently got the media attention following the arrest of JMM supremo Shibu Soren, is said to be an outburst of the tribal community against Dikus (non-tribals), who had cheated them. Much has changed since then. Many movements were launched to protest exploitation by Dikus and many leaders emerged and rose to prominence at the national level also. However, tribal people, particularly in rural areas are still being exploited.
