[QUOTE="Gyani Jarnail Singh, post: 102048, member: 189"] Mishi Ji, Gurfateh. YES you have hit the nail on its head. Long ago my late Dad used to say...Son when all these "buddeh khundh"...oldies...die off..your GENERATION will be free of all this caste neevahn uchah rubbish...what a surprise...NOW I am past 60..and I am telling my son the same thing...BUT unlike my dads time when we were in cocoons ( our own areas mostly with soem newspapers and radio only..) I live in the IT Age of the Internet..and I see "caste BHOOT" terrifying far and wide...its tentacles are spread so far and deep..so I am no more in ILLUSION that the "caste rubbish" will die with my generation (now the buddeh khundh..oldies)..BUT may continue..Until such a time as and when a GREAT REFORMER or strong broom wallah will come along and sweep it away.... IN MALAYSIA we had less of this "caste" thingy..becsue almost everyoen was Jatt and only a sprinkling of cheembas, kambojs and mazhbis etc..too small to really count...BUT we had an even bigger MONSTER tearign us apart..IT was the MAJHA-MALWA-DOABA-MAINDOAB DIVIDE.

I am GLAD to see that with the coming of the new Generations..INTER MARIAGES between the REGIONS are taking place...and since "Caste" was traditionally on back burner anyway...the new generation sikhs dont care much for that too...BUT UNDER the New Influece of the INTERNET...and all the Instant News about the GILLS and the Dhaliwaals and the Ruby Dalls ..the Manjeet Sahotas in canada Germany UK etc..the Ramgarriahs..the Ahluwalliahs etc etc...Local Youngsters are also going around trying to figure out..WHAT AM I ??
