Many have tried to misinterpret the Vedas and epics to establish that God created the caste system. However, no Mahatma born in India has ever said that the caste system is created by God. On the contrary, they have unequivocally stated that the caste system is man-made. If it is established that the caste system is God-created, then exploitation in the name of caste can continue unchecked and unquestioned forever. This is why some people try to use texts like the Manusmriti and Purusha Sukta to "prove" that caste is divinely ordained.

God is the supreme consciousness that resides in all living beings, beyond the boundaries of caste, creed, or religion. Not all humans are born with equal attributes; differences in qualities exist among individuals. However, it's unjust to differentiate people as savarnas (upper caste) and avarnas (lower caste) based on these differences. The spiritual endeavours and upliftments of Sree Narayana Guru Deva and other Mahatmas born in Kerala have resulted in the eradication of outward untouchability in the name of caste in Kerala. However, the situation remains deplorable in rural areas of our neighbouring states and northern Indian villages, among others, when it comes to caste. Even seventy-five years after independence, there are numerous wells in these villages where Dalits are not allowed to draw water. Similarly, some temples under upper-caste dominance still bar Dalits from entering. This has often led to riots in states such as Bihar and UP. One of the biggest curses of Hinduism is the emergence of hundreds of castes that are not compatible with each other.

In the past, culprits who attacked lower-caste people would go unpunished for their crimes since law enforcement and those in positions of power hardly included even a single person from marginalized communities. However, times have changed, and marginalized communities, particularly Dalits, have gained empowerment and confidence to stand up for themselves and respond assertively against attacks. Moreover, they are ready to move legally seeking justice. The rare incident in which 98 people were sentenced to life imprisonment in the case of a mass attack on Dalits and burning of their houses in Karnataka was a result of the Dalits filing the case under the leadership of the CPM. Generally, the majority of those involved in mob attacks go unpunished. This is often a reason why mob violence repeats itself.

CPM Politburo member MA Baby and Radhakrishna, national president of the Dalit organization DSSM, were at the forefront of running the case. The Karnataka Koppal Principal Sessions Court's decision to award stringent punishment to the perpetrators involved in the heinous attack in the name of caste is commendable and praiseworthy. This is the first time in India that such a large number of people have been convicted together for attacking Dalits. This verdict is a strong deterrent against caste discrimination and violence. Three Dalits have also been sentenced to five years imprisonment each. Judge C Chandrashekhar found the accused guilty under the Indian Penal Code and the SC/ST Atrocities Prevention Act. The incident, which led to the case, occurred in the early hours of August 28, 2014. A dispute had been brewing in Marakumbi village in Koppal district over serving food to Dalits at a hotel. Later, a clash occurred between the Dalits and the upper castes while watching a movie in Gangavathi town. To take revenge for this, upper castes organised themselves to attack Dalit settlements, assault women and children and set houses on fire.
