Caste & Religious discrimination - easily solvable

There is hardly any educated person who in his or her conscious mind endorses discrimination in work place on account of caste or religion - this is where the writ of law of the land runs. But when it comes to social interactions, and most certainly when it is the question of inter-caste or inter-religion marriages, the same people change their stance. Some "herds" (anthropologically speaking) resort to extreme violence when they catch a renegade who has transgressed the traditional fences of caste or religion, for e.g. "Khap Panchayat" is one such herd in the states of Haryana/U.P./Rajasthan which is known to not just ostracise the "offender" but publicly hang him or her. This is where the writ of the law does not seem to run. 

Agitation, self-immolation, caste politics, religious fundamentalism, stalling of parliament because of fight between a group for reservation (Bahujan Samaj Party of Mayawati batting for quota for Dalits) and another group for even more reservation (Samajwadi party of Mulayamsingh batting for sub-quota for Muslims within the quota for SC/ST/OBC) have not helped one bit in abating the practice of discrimination. If at all, the effect of these antics has been to increase discrimination in our society. Discrimination continues despite attempts at reservations and many affirmative action plans of the government over the 65 years since India gained independence. 

There is no known political group which stands for "no reservation". i propose a solution which is so perfect that when it is implemented, there will be no need for reservation. [In a way it is like DCT - Direct Cash Transfer - after DCT is effected, there will be no need for administered prices - there will be just market price for all goods and services].

SOLUTION: We can bring a quick closure to Caste & Religion based discrimination by the simple legislation of banishing use of surname which gives away the caste or religion. The official name of a person will be first name, second name or third name but no surname. For e.g. Anil Srivastava will be known as Anil Kumar. Very soon, certainly within one generation, Indians will forget the concept of caste.  The curse of the caste will be behind us.

The rule of caste-less and religion-less name will do immense good to the society divided by caste and religions. The rule should apply not just to the new born but to every citizen of India. 

Will you oppose this move? If you are not a casteist in both your conscious and sub-conscious mind, i think you should approve of this idea. It may surprise you how many people suffer from sub-conscious prejudices.
