Dalits or not
by on Jan 12, 2007 02:40 AM

In this day and time and in the progress India has made, it is pathetic that alot of the comments even that you read about the article and the article itself chooses to distinguish one group of people to another. We should be ashamed of ourselves that we can manage to think one is higher than the other. Where did human dignity go? Instead if anything from the rapes, murders, and other acts of hypocrisy and violence, the government should be working on removing the very context of asking one's caste at any particular time or paper. Instead of pointing fingers at one another ask the empowered (politicians / officials) what they have done to change this? Or are they igniting more fires? Isnt it about time we stopped asking castes and act as a United country? Hindu, muslim, buddhists, kshatriyas, brahmins, south indians, north indians and everyone else wake up my fellow Indians we have the same blood running through our veins.Call yourselves Indians a land full of diverse culture and so much potential.
I am sometimes ashamed to answer questions from people from the other countries, when they gasp in surprise that we still have atrocities due to caste.

Shame on all of us if we cant resolve this!
