Caste step is the bane of the Indian society. It divides and keeps the Indian community into sectarian groups and classes. The roots of the caste course are traced back to epoch immemorial days, the period of the Vedas or Puranas. While one outline discriminates between the castes as upper and lower castes on the rationale of their origin, another conception traces the origin of the castes to varnas which classifies the caste action on the goal of their functions.

It is an irony in spite of of the evolvement of culture and civilization in the fresh India all the more the caste transaction prevails and plays a predominant role in the Indian politics and society.

The Indian government, possibly realizing the dispute of eradicating the caste operation from India, is providing the reservation method to the socially and economically backward castes in the educational institutions and in offering job opportunities.

At the twin time, the Indian Polity has enacted laws to remove untouchability among the so called lower castes, by specifically declaring untouchability as a social evil, sin and a crime against citizens and God. It all the more prosecutes the offenders under the food of Untouchability Act.

While the differences among the caste manner endure beneath rooted, unscrupulous politicians exploit them to their prime avail in the direction of elections and in deed the vested interests in politics craving to perpetuate the caste system. Since communal tensions and clashes among contradistinct communities periodically arise and thereby the caste differences be remodelled far rooted and the caste development gets perpetuated.

Recently in a remote village particulary Uthapuram in Madurai Resident in Tamil Nadu, the caste process manifested itself in the anatomy of a wall published as 'Untouchability Wall'.It separated the residential areas of two castes, the mortals of timetable caste on the one participation and the nation of 'Pillaimar community' on the other hand.

In the year 1999,when the Southern districts of Tamil Nadu had the worst communal clashes, this specific village 'Uthapuram' further got infected with communal clashes,in which a figure of human beings died in both castes. Unable to bear the onslaughts of caste clashes, a meagre families of Pillaimar resident abandoned their village and went to Tirupur, a textile city, to eke gone their livelihood and yet they are residing there. The impugned 'caste wall' was raised to some distance by some Pillaimars in their patta land so as to prevent the invasion or intrusion or the paper movement of the 'people of the pallar community' (schedule castes humans considered by the upper castes as untouchables) who are living on the other side of the wall.

In March, 2008, the vitality of 'the caste wall' or popularly noted as the 'wall of untouchability' came into flashing in a typical diurnal wrapped up the efforts of a political party, CPI (M).It called upon the administration to remove 'the caste wall' fixing a deadline, which led to dramatic events at Uthapuram village. The CPI(M), yet threatened to remove the wall, whether the management did not come forward to act it.

Immediately, the Madurai Regional Collector camped at Uthapuram village and held bounteous rounds of talks with the Pillaimar district for the emigration of 'the caste wall'.Led by their captain Mr.Murugesan, the Pillaimar community, called upon the governance to fix up a police station in the Uhapuram village so as to surety them and to obtain talks with them. On the directions of the government, the Limited Collector dismantled a quantity of the wall thereby paving the hook for the movement of community on either side of the wall.

Protesting the system of the government, the filled Pillaimar regional vacated the Uthapuram village and went to a nearby hill and camped there temporarily. Staying in the extensive chilly air affected the health of the developing children with fever and diarrhoea However the Pillaimar limited refused to select any medical cooperation stretched by the authority and besides refused to come back to their village until their demands were met. It was de facto deficient to espy thousands of cats camping at the hilly tract in the bare air and remained unrelenting despite of facing lousy with odds and threats affection illness, desolate animals approximative jackals and innumerable venomous snakes.

After a week, one A.C.Shanmugam, a regular chief of a political outfit, managed to persuade the Pillaimar local to come back back to their village, by arranging and fixing an appointment with the Manager Minister of Tamil Nadu for also talks.Now Uthapuram village remains cool without any communal problem.But the differences between the two caste communities are alive.

Thus the faculty of caste remains a touchy and elastic problem in India and allotment and again, it raises its grungy head, either in politics or society.
