you dont have to feel sorry for me as i am not a dalit.
Please read carefully; I did not feel sorry for you. I felt sorry that you had received that post. There is a difference; it is not clear if you know that difference. This is not to put you down, but merely to point out that you make disastrous mistakes in gauging people's thoughts and views because you are so ill-equipped to deal with any but the broadest, elementary information; the slightest complication throws you off the rails.
But there are millions of them in your land and your nation offers them no justice or solace.
That is a plainly ignorant remark. If you were an Indian, you would know the actual situation. If you are not, you naturally would not be expected to know the actual situation.
The problem i have with you is that despite being a very knowledgable and very social person you keep pretending there is some "real" india which is casteless and secular where everyone gets along together.
This is, again, your problem, and it is the same problem that I pointed out to you in the first part of this post. I never claimed that there is ALREADY a casteless, secular India; what I have argued is that only by actively seeking a casteless and secular India can we achieve a casteless and secular India. The argument is intended as a bringing to attention that there are those Indians who DO NOT seek a casteless or secular India.
In addition to that you never get the courage to condemn what are clear indian atrocities in kashmir or naga or so many other regions.
It is not a question of courage. It is a question of conviction.
There are two parts of the outrage lobby that expresses outrage at alleged Indian atrocities in Kashmir or in Nagaland or other places: one part is convinced that these geographical locations should not be in India at all, and therefore views even an Indian presence in these locations as an atrocity. The other part looks at the outputs and inputs of the outrage lobby - the well-organised system that makes money out of publicising alleged atrocities - and rejects the monetisation of the situation. Your assertions, made without knowing what is going on, what lies underneath and what is being taken out of context, manipulated and used as ammunition by the outrage lobby, are part of this monetisation process. .
