Yes, Gentleman, caste system is prevailing. It can be eradicated through education only. No other alternative left out. Within 100 years you will find caste system completely eradicated from Indian Society because by that time all communties' people will have full education whereby they know their rights. Further Politicians who maintain the caste system for their own benefits will loose their hold by that time.

A Hindu is born as a Hindu and cannot be a convert from any other religion. A Hindu is born as Hindu in Hindustan (India) alone and adopts and practices its rites, culture, tradition, customs, usages etc. though may have any religion of his choice. Is Hinduism a religion or a culture, tradition, custom, tenets, usage and rites? All the well known Hindu saints and scholars are very clear and unambiguous on this issue. None claimed Hinduism as a religion.
Chapter XVIII Verses 40-45 of the holy book Bhagwath Geeta shows four categories among Hindus: Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya & Shudra, upon which a Hindu is born by nature. Each category is created for its specific job. There are hundreds of castes in Hinduism, each believing differently. A Hindu cannot change his caste or category and they are unchangeable. Many a times Indian Supreme Court and different High Courts of Indian States had occasion to accept this caste system among Hindus. One cannot change his category or caste. His prayer and worship is the job of his caste in which he is born by nature. He & his offspring will have to remain in that category and caste only. All the Indian laws define a Hindu as a person who is not a Jew, Christian, Muslim or Parsi. It is immaterial what he believes or practices. No other requirements are prescribed to be & to remain a Hindu. The Central & State Governments provide certain facilities, reservations in jobs & educational institutions, free constructed houses, house sites, agricultural lands, subsidies / loans etc. to certain Hindu castes and tribes citizens, recognized as Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Castes (SCs, STs & BCs); as long as they remain Hindu; but withdraws all such facilities upon their conversion to Islam / Christianity. Many would have changed their caste to SCs, STs or BCs if it was changeable, to avail the benefits given to those castes, but it is quite unchangeable at any cost, such as one cannot change his birth date/place or mother/father etc. Unaware of the basic and root teachings of Hinduism as are described in Bhagwath Geeta and many authentic Hindu versions, some modern people claim that castes are man made and can be changed/converted. A Hindu will be out of his caste when he embraces a religion (Christianity or Islam) but as long as he is Hindu he will remain in his own caste.

!) In many villages the caste Hindus do not permit the people belonging to the Scheduled Caste to walk in their streets, with the chappels on;
2) In many villages, in the tea stalls, separate tumblers are kept for serving beverages to the SCs.
3) Scavenging in India is mostly done manually by the SCs.

Are you an Indian or foreigner? Here the political system is mainly caste based-Hindu votes, Muslim votes, jat votes, etc etc. Do you need any more examples?
