caste system could only be eradicated from correct social upbringing. once education finished and a plum job is available, if there is lack of proper social upbringing, the person would soon adopt the caste system again. the society is part educated and part economic phenomena and everyone who has money would next try to achive higher social status. it is called self actualisation needs of people. Maslow has theorised a pyramid of needs people would try to achieve. self actualisation and respect is in the top levels. you can google and find Maslow theory.
I think Pawan got mixed up with class and caste system. Then why even after he became the President of Sri Lanka Premadasa couldn't call himself as a Govigama and he remained as a guy from a washermen caste :))) LOL
