No civilization tried
by Vijaya Kumar on Dec 21, 2006 08:12 PM

as much as possible to undo the wrongs of the past as India did. Pakistan was a part of India where ssome Dalits also live. Do they have similar privileges? Brahmins are constantly attacked-even Sankaracharaya was taken in shackles. Branhimins did not go on rampage. Do the Dalits want to leave their caste and say we are casteless?-even when they change their religion to Christianity and Islam, they want to be called Dalits for the privileges. For how long and how many generations is this?. The really oppressed backward person does not get the quota. The same families like Udit Raj for generations take away the seats reserved for the really under privileged. Does this Raj say proudly that "I am forward and I give up my privilege for my brothers who really need it what ever their caste is!"-There are others in India who need to live too. "Thousands of years of suppression" slogan does not stick for ever. Those years are gone-what happens now is important. You pillage and plunder wand want sympathy-no you can't have it. If I open a shop for my living, why should I reserve a position to the one who always curses me?
