This is the link to a website which has a listing of few of the initiatives of the government of India for the lower caste people... All the state governments run parallel initiatives. It doubles up the opportunity for them. Caste discrimination was existent in India long ago. Now the people and the government are working towards uplifting these people. They are given a 50% reservation in government jobs. The government runs various skill development courses at different levels specially for these people. They are even provided free coaching to study for UPSC exams. There's a lot more.
The government provides free elementary education to one and all irrespective of their caste. Why are their children uneducated?
You are saying that there are more lower caste poor than the upper caste. Have you noticed the number of children in the two types of household. Let's not consider that for a while. People like Bhimrao Ambedkar are still known for their work for the lower caste people. They should stand for themselves and grab the opportunities provided to them. It is not because they don't have enough opportunities that they don't flourish but it's because they don't want to try something different from the set norms. If you consider it this way, then it's the upper caste poor who actually suffers because they don't get any of these opportunities at all. I still support my point that it is the poor population which suffers rather than a particular caste. Because hunger is same to all.
