  1. Initiatives like this blog give confidence for anti caste activists since main stream media is not giving enough space for struggles against caste discriminations. Most of the dailies do not give coverages for these agitations. Sometimes they even distort the reality colliding with vested interests. Even when they are forced to publish the news because of massive response to the agitations they cover them in local pages only. May some exceptions be there. So every activist has to strive hard to get right inputs and percolate it to the masses in whatever opportunities available to us. Shri P Esakkimuthu is doing excellent job. Congratulations.
