Double standards?

The issue of racism against Shilpa Shetty in UK's show Big Brother is hot and the media is busy trying to cover all aspects of the issue. A number of questions are being asked, campaigns are being organised, both the governments have came out with statements, the sponsors of the show are backing out and now there's a doubt on the "Reality" factor of these reality shows.

My concern is about India's position. Does India really have the moral right to raise a voice against racism? Isn't that a double standard behaviour? In our country we differentiate people on the basis of caste and this differentiation is used for everything, right from admission to a premier institute to search for a life partner. Just recently issues have been raised on caste based reservations in top notch institutes like IIMs and IITs. But still these reservations are there in place. The "So called" upper caste people are still apprehensive of the people from other caste. Even the educated (actually literate is the right word) people believe in this caste system. The roots of this caste system are really deep down. What are we doing to address this issue? If there is so much categorisation in the country itself how can we expect an equality in the outer world?

If people can unite against racism in other country why not against the caste system in our own country?
