The recent reports suggest that, the Kerala Government has issued a circular, which states that people can decide whether or not to mention their ‘caste’ or ‘religion’ in the birth certificates henceforth. Actor Kamal Haasan, who has been extremely active on Twitter has always been someone who is fearless to share his opinions.
As soon as Kamal has noticed this certificate, he has gone on to praise the Kerala Government for its forward thinking. He has lauded them with a post which read, "Bravo again Kerala Govt. Your circular is historic. I’ve refused filling caste and religion columns in my daughter's birth certificate. My daughters decided after they were 21. Shruti has chosen to be Hindu. Akshara might stay without caste or religion."
