“The Varna System Divides Based On Occupation, Not birth”|| The Madras High Court

Today (7th March): The Madras High Court acknowledged present caste-based inequities, but highlighted the recent origins of the caste system, distancing it from ancient Varna system. The Court condemned caste-based violence, and clarified the historical context of the Varna system. The petition filed against State Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin, PK Sekarbabu, and A Raja was criticized, but they were not removed from office due to lack of legal grounds.
