There is no such thing exclusively for dalits alone. Brahmins were hounded out of TN not so long ago. I personally grew up hearing kids call the Brahmin man who used to come around to collect flowers from people's yard for puja as phool chor derisively. Every community is labeled as something or other. The only major distinguishing feature has been class. Moneyed people, whether upper caste or lower caste, are the only one who get by without discrimination.

Money might let a rich dalit get away with it temporarily.
And if what you said was completely true then this news would not have made to the headlines

Well that is why TOI earned the moniker TOIlet news. We have a PM who belongs to lower caste and that did not matter for TOI, but they started counting the upper caste and lower caste representation in the Cabinet. Do you think that is what Modi was thinking when appointing his ministers? This is like a guest who goes to dawat and instead of enjoying his biryani keeps complaining of the bones in the meat.

This is how they intend to make India free of casteism? By harping on caste in every issue? Is that how you make things irrelevant?

I'm sorry !

Hehe. You are a sensitive guy. It was a joke. I know you do not intend to be malicious in your words

Yes

This is a new Era of politics where every decision of government shall be guided by National interest and not by appeasement politics or vote bank politics.

That was not about Modi...,
That was just an example to show how ingrained caste system is in India.
Well if the government really wants to do something about it then they should stop asking ppl to fill in caste columns in every government document. What purpose does it serve???
It deepens the abyss between the classes...JMHO.

 

[Chronos]

Nonsense???
You gotta be kidding me.
Its not about media....I seriously do think that in states like Haryana & UP voices of dalits 're not heard and 're curbed.
Why this reticence in accepting that those gals were dalits???

@levina thank you for bringing this up.

Yep. what you say is true.

And the victims were chosen because of their caste. Because the police either ridicule them, or dismiss the case out of hand.

Honestly, I have read interviews and video clippings where upper caste men fully justified the rape.

They actually said on camera things about Dalits that would make KKK blush.

I am not exaggerating, I am not making this up. It's like there are two Indias. One India where Asaram Bapu's comments about Nirbhaya were sheer non-sense and vomit-inducing.

There is another world, the constituency that people like Asaram Bapu play to. This is where the rape victim falling to their knees and calling the rapist 'Bhaiya' will save them.

This is the India where it is perfectly O.K. to engage in caste bigotry.

They need some one like Sri Sri Vivekanandan open their eyes...... He did it to Mallus long back, our caste system was much worse than what it is in other state.....

Mulayam singh said "Larkoon se galti ho jaati hai".
And yesterday when his son Akhilesh yadav was asked about the rapes that happened in his state his reply to the journo was "Are you not safe???".
How can I forget that this is the same guy who was beaten black and blue during a new year's party in Lucknow for teasing an army officer's daughter.

I believe that caste caste system is still very deep rooted in the hindu society.Though the new generation snubs it but then too I 've seen ppl who go about trumpeting their "high-caste".
Frankly I get an awkward feeling when i meet such ppl.
Btw @Armstrong is one of them.

Nair,you know I could not believe my eyes when I saw a movie which was about caste system in Kerala. The movie showed some really pathetic rules these low caste ppl and their women had to follow. I dont think I could finish that movie.

I haven't seen any movie though, but read enough to know how bad was the system here.... That made Vivekananda to call kerala "Brandalayam"

I have seen it myself, My grand mother used to be called "thamburatti" by the so called 'Low caste people"..... During my child hood my best friend was from a poor family and was a SC, and i know how much struggle i had to keep that friendship intact....It was really bad....

I shall tell you an interesting aspect, There are 61 type of nairs and i know people who consider some types of nair to be inferior and they treat them like a low caste one.....

Yes, the govt should, but then the govt did not because then they would not be able to play vote bank politics and keep the country divided.

Adding to that, we cannot ignore the contribution from CPI/M on handling this mess..... The very idea of those parties were to fight against discrimination by elites.... and those days the elites and rich were from higher caste.....

Hehehe yeah I've heard about it.
But then being from an army background,we hardly ever talked about castes and religions at home.
So my knowledge was very very limited on this subject till I met some civilians.

Hmmm
So was it for the same reason that Bengal also saw uprise of communists??

Yes, the govt should, but then the govt did not because then they would not be able to play vote bank politics and keep the country divided.

Spot on!!
Vote bank politics- A Nehruvian era ghost which still haunts our country.
