[QUOTE="Astroboy, post: 107622, member: 4990"] Any system for that matter goes obsolete with the advancement of science and technology. For example household equipment do the washing, cooking, cleaning, etc. so how can one reject say food prepared by a Dalit who uses all these equipments ? Here's something to think about :- [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]A group of scientists placed 5 monkeys in a cage and in the middle, a ladder with bananas on the top.[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Every time a monkey went up the ladder, the scientists soaked the rest of the monkeys with cold water. [/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]After a while, every time a monkey went up the ladder, the others beat up the one on the ladder.[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]After some time, no monkey dare to go up the ladder regardless of the temptation.[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Scientists then decided to substitute one of the monkeys. The 1st thing this new monkey did was to go up the ladder. Immediately the other monkeys beat him up.[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]After several beatings, the new member learned not to climb the ladder even though never knew why.[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]A 2nd monkey was substituted and the same occurred. The 1st monkey participated on the beating for the 2nd monkey. A 3rd monkey was changed and the same was repeated (beating). The 4th was substituted and the beating was repeated and finally the 5th monkey was replaced. [/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]What was left was a group of 5 monkeys that even though never received a cold shower, continued to beat up any monkey who attempted to climb the ladder.[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]If it was possible to ask the monkeys why they would beat up all those who attempted to go up the ladder…..[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]I bet you the answer would be….[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]“I don’t know – that’s how things are done around here”[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][SIZE=3][FONT=Times New Roman]Does it sounds familiar?[/FONT][/SIZE][/B] [B][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Part Two:[/SIZE][/FONT][/B] [URL="http://www.ekac.org/monkey.html"]Man-Made Monkey[/URL] [URL="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/1331940.stm"]BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | Mysterious 'man-monkey' strikes Delhi[/URL] [URL="http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/08/07/a-monkey-on-the-loose-at-la-guardia/"]Man and Monkey Detained at La Guardia - City Room - Metro - New York Times Blog[/URL] [/QUOTE]
