The international debate on caste discrimination is also taking place on blogs and media websites. Now is the time to join the debate on caste discrimination as a human rights violation and the role of the international community.

Following the recent publications of a large number of media reports on caste discrimination in international and regional media, blogs are buzzling with comments and critical perspectives from readers' personal views on this issue.

After the BBC World Service aired a 50 minute live radio debate on caste discrimination on 29 September, a BBC blog has been established. This has created a vigorous debate on the internationalisation of caste discrimination with contributions from all over the world.

Another interesting debate is taking place on the Readers' Opinions page of the Times of India.

The boom in media reports on the issue of caste discrimination as a human rights violation has created unprecedented attention to this issue.

Now is the time to join the debate!
