Snokaraju,

Let me recrystalise.

My contention is that the caste system can be vanquished very fast, if
we use the latest world best practise on mind change. We can change it
just as fast as Coca Cola convinced folks that Coke is better than
water, perhaps a bit slower than how long it took for Hotmail to
become common.

Now, do you think Indian-Malaysians, Malaysians or Asians are ready
for quantum inventions? I am an inventor, an ecocosms inventor, an
organisations inventor, a new millenia processes inventor. I have found that
at even the highest supposedly most enlightened levels, we do not have the
mindset to provide a climate and resources for inventions.

Asia stopped having such a climate about 600 years ago and the Indian
mindset before that - the last big quantum inventor being Admiral
Cheng Ho's ocean-going vessels, compasses etc.

We have not invented anything quantum since numerals, gunpowder, paper
and merchant marine infrastructure.

If we track down the probable reasons in descending order, why we
stopped quantum inventions, we will start the process of establishing
a climate for quantum inventions again.

And very early in this process, all the answers to how we eradicate
the caste system will be clear.
