A long war for being casteless and religionless is now achieved.
Tirupattur: Advocate Sneha (35) from Tirupattur always believed in her identity was not in caste or religion. After a long legal battle from 2010 to make it official, Advocate Sneha has finally received the official documents from Tahsildar TS Sathiyamoorthy on February 5th 2021 which declared Advocate Sneha casteless and religionless.
Officials say that this is the first time a casteless and religionless certificate has been issued in the country.
Advocate Sneha is the mother of 3 girl children Aadhirai Nasreen, Aadhila Irene and Aarifa Jessy are raised without any links to caste and religion. She has proudly said that she always left those two columns empty in any form she has filled.
This will pave way for those who are not interested in using their caste or religious identities to lose them. Until now the situation has been that many who do not like to retain their caste identity have been forced to get community certificates even in the case of intercaste and inter religious marriages.
