Precisely. Well known scam, allows the HR people to cheerfully say "gosh we're diverse".

This is called a conspiracy theory. So the blacks have hundreds of thousands of unemployed computer programmers among them because Silicon Valley companies fear them? You live in CA, right? I guess you get too much information from Moonbeam to believe all sorts of nonsense.

Unfortunately this matter is more complex than most of you assume. Dalits already have access to a very level of affirmative action. They have reservations across the board, in education,in government jobs as well as in legislatures. There has been a President,the Chief Justice & the present chief minister of India’s most populous state who happened to be dalit.

The point made here is a complex one. The constitution of India makes allowances for Dalits on the basis of “Caste” & not their socio-economic background because that was the basis that they were discriminated by. The question is whether Christians or Muslims who claim to be casteless religions can cling on to their former castes thereby questioning the very nature of their conversion to supposedly escape caste discrimination. This is a pet project for missionaries who find that they have a dwindling base available to poach because many Dalits chose not to convert because they have access to affirmative action as long as they are defined by the castes. The Courts have consistently ruled against reservation being granted on basis of ‘caste’ to members of religions supposedly not having castes. Christians & Muslims are entitled to reservations if their tribes have been marked as backward or put in a schedule in the constitution (ST) because the nature of reservation is tribe based & not caste based.

Christian missionaries can’t have it both ways. Criticize Hinduism for caste discrimination & offer deliverance from that while claiming that Christians too have castes.
