79 Real Observance is Superior to show-manship:

Once, P.P.Doctorjee had occasion to comment on "Saha Bhojana" ("Eating Food together--- various castes of Hindus, especially the so called "untouchables" sitting together to have lunch or dinner”}.  Some politicians encouraged such annual occasions with great fan fare. Doctorjee said: "We Hindus must genuinely forget all our differences and quarrels; including those that are brought about due to castes and untouchability. Every human being must be equally respected. This is very much in tune with our scriptures, and it is verily the need of today. Our diversity has to be a basis of mutual love not discrimination."

However, newspaper publicity and fanfare are very superficial. A few joint meals will not magically transform centuries of bad practices, and negative influences. We must eradicate this negativity at its root, by moral samskara on children and adults alike, through the Sangha shakha. Only by having infinite patience and love, as well as a firm resolve, will we begin to root out this severe problem.
