Don't mention caste in school certificate: Ambedkar

January 18, 2013 18:45

The mention of caste should be removed from school leaving certificates, Prakash Ambedkar, grandson of Babasaheb Ambedkar and Bharip Bahujan Mahasangh president, has said.

"I have my religious identity and I have my national identity. Only these two identities should be mentioned in the certificate," he said.

"There are many in the present system who do not insist on mentioning their caste. A way out should be found. It should be optional whether one wants to mention caste or not," he said.
