Rajesh,
I think I know why you are saying this. Believe me, it won't work. The upper castes have chosen the road to collective suicide about twenty years ago. They are now too immersed in the latest accoutrements of modern living, to care about their collective future. Take a look at the TamBrahm community in TN for instance. Where are they now?
Members of these castes have now become "world citizens". They are so drunk with the importance of their own individual "emotions" and "feelings", that they don't see themselves as members of their communities anymore.
On second thought, perhaps you are right. Perhaps, a community whose members do not see themselves as owing their allegiance to it, deserves what it gets.
