Chief Minister Siddaramaiah said in Nanjangud on Friday that the prevailing caste system was responsible for the social inequities in society.
He was speaking after inaugurating the restored Kadalemalamma temple at Kalale in Nanjangud taluk. “Creating barriers between humans and discriminating against them based on caste in the name of god is not something even god will approve,” said Mr. Siddaramaiah.
Expressing happiness over the restoration of the temple Mr.Siddaramaiah said that the people of the village were well-known to him and the village was an example of social harmony. “Though the caste system is responsible for social inequality, Kalale was a model village where everyone lived in harmony,” Mr.Siddaramaiah added.
