00:00Somewhere, the government is responsible if there are no stringent laws in place, discrimination
00:05that's happening.
00:06Against discrimination?
00:07Yes.
00:08In the name of caste particularly?
00:09Yes.
00:10IITs are very liberal places in that sense, but yet there is overall an environment of
00:16equality and friendliness.
00:18If you say people need to be protected on the basis of their caste, yes, but then there
00:23are other places where they are far more vulnerable.
00:26Those are the places where the society and the government should focus on.
00:30For example, the small towns, villages, the schools there, where there is active and very
00:35very heinous kind of discrimination.
00:38Discrimination not only among the students, but sometimes even the teachers very badly
00:43discriminate against the students.
00:45So that's where it is still happening and those are the places we should rather focus
00:50on.
