RE: Dalit movement is more intense
by Biswajit Ghoshal on Dec 06, 2006 05:45 PM

This article has been written with a Dalit-biased approach and not with an independent approach. Some of the fallacies are as follows:
1. How does a higher-caste person get to know whether the person he is calling by 'oire' is a dalit or upper-caste? So anyone can call anyone by 'oire' irrespective of the caste of the caller or the called.
2. It seems that 'dalits' think that only dalits are doing 'lowly' jobs like helping the butcher. For their knowledge, upper-caste members too do all the lowly jobs for a living - including theft/adultery/betreyal/potty-cleaning/garbage-collection etc.
3. No where in Indian constitution is any job has been demarkated for high-castes/dalits. Anyone can develop his skills and seek job accordingly. Dalits themselves need to come out of their 'dalit'ness to see that the world indeed is fully an equal-opportunity place.
