What is a cast?\nA cast holds a broken bone in place as it heals. Casts also help to prevent or decrease muscle contractions, and are effective at providing immobilization, especially after surgery. \nCasts immobilize the joint above and the joint below the area that is to be kept straight and without motion. For example, a child with a forearm fracture will have a long arm cast to immobilize the wrist and elbow joints.\n\nWhat are casts made of?\nThe outside, or hard part of the cast, is made from two different kinds of casting materials. \nplaster - white in color. \nfiberglass - comes in a variety of colors, patterns, and designs. \nCotton and other synthetic materials are used to line the inside of the cast to make it soft and to provide padding around bony areas, such as the wrist or elbow.\nHope this helps!!!

I think you are trying to convey " our Indian team must perform". Sorry dear, this may not be the solution for your thought. Without a view how people will evaluate and watch our teams performance. \n\nTelecasting is just for ENJOY the game at home !!!!!!!! Win or loss doesn't make any difference for a true cricket lover.\n\nThere are many other ways how our team can do better !!!!

I believe the caste system is very much like the system of society in Aldous Huxleys book 'Brave New World'.  The seemingly logical way Huxley describes the way society works in the brave new world leads me to believe that in the caste system everyone has they're pre-determined lives already set before them and in the brave new world everything worked for everybody(almost).  But practically speaking I think that it would be better to let everyone decide their own lives and that would create much more growth in edjucation.  So no the caste system is not going to influence more people towards higer educational goals.

As Mr. Bal Thackeray put it very rightly once: India is the only democracy where people do not cast votes, they rather vote castes!\nIt is an irony that people at the micro level in India still believe in caste system. That is your behaviour etc. is partly judged by your religion/castes. That is really sad. \nBut for it to change, family and social setup of Indian families need to change. Hai na?

First of all all cast reservations must be stopped.  Reservations must be for poor people.  The reservations must be for non professional education.\n\nIf the Govt. is willing to implement reservations why not reservation for Rastrapathi, Prime Minister and for ministers.  That they will not do.  I do not know why BC, ST & SC are keeping quite.  Why not they demand for the reservations for  Rastrapathi, Prime Minister and for ministers ???\n\nAny way thanks for the good question.

Both democracies but are different in human rights and privileges. As an American you have the right to sue anyone, example: a manufacture that has made a potentially defective and dangerous part. You are injured. In the USA you can sue for damages in India this court system hardly exist on much of a level unless you are very wealthy. Their regulatory systems are hugely different. Building codes in India are terribly inadequate, EPA and Public Health codes are extremely lacking. The Caste system that exist in India hampers democracy worst than the rich elite in America. Social programs for the poor are sketchy and inconsistent in India. Policy evaluation has a long way to go due to lack of enforcement. This is just scratching the surface of your question.

Caste is the social class you are born into.  There are five main castes in India.  The highest caste is Brahman, and they are the priests.  The others are Kshatriya (landowners), Vaishya (merchants), Shudra (artisans), and Harijan (those outside the caste system, once known as untouchables).

I do not have a source other than friends and teachers from India.  What inhibits India from becoming a powerhouse of economy and politics is the caste system.  They have the most horrible racisim of any country, and it is internal. \n\nSocially, you can NOT rise above your station.  This inhibits the real freedom they could enjoy.  I would do more studying of the caste system to get a better answer than mine.\n\nI do hope they overcome this thousands year old tradition and bigotry.

Ignorance, Insecurity (i.e, unaware of cultures other than their own very limited ones, or the vast benefits of learning about them or learning in general; and fear of the unknown largely due to this same stupidity, and the tendency to handle this perceived threat in a reactionary, animalistic manner). Such people often just go along others, having no confidence in themselves, and thus the tendency to gang up ("safety in numbers"). Please note that educated, intelligent persons are far less likely to have such prejudice, although the impact of their national or local culture still can be very strong (such as in India, where a caste system persists).\n\nIn addition, prejudice, hatred, and tribal behavior has been further promoted by some politicians and other petty leaders, who got there largely because of the same human tendencies to band up and look for direction, so they just pick a popular concept (fear is one of the best) and preach about it to get votes at emotional gatherings, thus inciting more hate and violence.

Because there will always be differences of opinions. there is an old saying in hindi which translates something like this - even if there are only four pots and  pans kept together those are bound to clash sometime or other.

In short idea of untouchability was taken to extereme by so called idea of Cleanliness among higher cast. The idea of hygene turned psychological peroblem.\n\nThe higher casts were more educated and followed more majors of cleanliness in comparison to lower ones. Later on it was grossly abused custom. Brahmans or other higher casts thought themselves to be purer just by being of higher caste.\n\nBut it is not a problem of Hindus only.\n\nA true telling of "caste-based" behavior of South Asians would show that it cuts across all religious lines, and can be found in churches as well as in masjids. Thus upper caste Syrian Christians advertise specifically for their own types in matrimony, as do other Christians. Goans and other Indian Christians still refer to themselves as Bamon (Brahmins), Bhandaris, Kolis, Prabhus, etc.   \n\n In spite of the fact that around 75% of the Christians are ‘dalits’ who got converted to Christianity to lose their caste or ‘outcaste’ tag, Dalit Christians within the Church were discriminated against and were denied powers within the ecclesiastical structure.\n\nIn the churches or places of worship, which were generally laid out in the shape of a cross, the Christians of upper caste have always humiliated their Dalit fellow Christians by occupying the central part of the church, while the Dalits were assigned to the wings. The Dalits were to take communion only after the upper caste people had done so. In some Protestant churches, there were separate cups for the Dalits at the eucharistic celebration. In the Catholic churches, there were separate communion rails, separate cemeteries in Madras dioceses like Trichy and Pondicherry. Such practices were also found in the Protestant churches. \n\nMuslims are also divided according to caste - Sayyads, Ashrafs, Ajlafs, Jolahas, Rajputs, etc. Marriages are disallowed between the high caste Ashrafs, Sayyads, Sheikhs or Pathans and the low caste Ansaris, Kunjras or Qureshis. The founder of the Aligarh Muslim University, Sir Sayyad Ahmad Khan, denied backward Muslims entry into AMU and kept its door open only for the Ashrafs. Maulana Ashraf Ali Thanvi wrote a book in which he said that the Sayyads are the highest caste! Dalit Muslims don't even come into the picture as yet."\n\nThree groups found in Indian Muslims of Bengal: \n\nAshraf or better class Muslims – The Sainads, Sheikhs, Pathans, Moghul, Mallik, and Mirza. \nAjlaf or lower caste Muslims – Cultivating Sheikhs, and others who were originally Hindus, Darzi, Jolaha, Fakir, Mallah, Kula Kunjara, Kasai, Kalal, Dhunia, Abdal, Bako, Chamba, Dafali, Dhobi, Hajjan,  etc. \nArzal or degraded class – include Bhanar, Halalkhor, Hijra, Kasbi, Lalbegi, Maugta, Mehra. \n\n\nJust sample these familiar insertions in the Sunday matrimonial pages of any newspaper:  \n\n* CSI Nadar Christian invites alliance...\n* CSI Adi dravida wants ...  \n* Roman Catholic ants...except SC/ST..    \n* Protestant Pillai seeks...  \n\nWelcome to the 'casteless' egalitarian world of Christianity. Or at least, that is what the board outside Evangelists Inc claims. Then what do the above advertisements that routinely appear in very secular newspapers point to? \n true telling of "caste-based" behavior of South Asians would show that it cuts across all religious lines, and can be found in churches as well as in masjids. Thus upper caste Syrian Christians advertise specifically for their own types in matrimony, as do other Christians. Goans and other Indian Christians still refer to themselves as Bamon (Brahmins), Bhandaris, Kolis, Prabhus, etc.   \n\nAli Anwar, a Muslim author, maintains in his book "War of Equality" that it's a myth that Indian Islam is caste-free. "Neither the Muslims' ruling elite nor the religious leaders have so far made any meaningful efforts to remove the disease of inequality that has made Dalit Muslims suffer for centuries," he writes.

India is one of the worst nations on earth because of the discriminating "caste system" which is still adhered to by indians - your constitution is only worth the paper it's wriiten on. your leaders, politicians and authorities do not have the political will to enforce anything that does not make money. Your system of democracy stinks - it does not work for the good of the indian people.
