RE:Savarna Fascism
by Kaushik Das on Apr 11, 2007 07:16 PM

Casteism has always been a problem and educated hindus accept it (unlike even the educated ones in other religions). However, untouchability was banned many decades ago and is not in vogue in educated circles, even in villages.
.
And hindus NEVER KILLED untouchables - if they could not be touched, how could they be killed yaar?
.
Conversions happened mostly due to force as there are still a majority of lower caste people in India who are hindus - more than the number of muslims in india.
.
Brahmins' monopoly in temples has ended thanks to the SC ruling and have you noted that brahmins in India and abroad DID NOT riot in protest against the ruling??? :-))
.
Human rights for dalits - in some cases, this allegation is true but human rights to OBCs? You don't seem to be living in India. You must know that OBCs are some of the worst abusers of law and human rights - they are foremost, and not the brahmins and OFCs, in treating dalits badly.
.
Pak and Bang were created by the sword of islam and not because of manuwaad (which you haven't read, I'm sure). How come all your converted muslims have names of khan and syed and mirza and shiekh if they were ex-untouchables?
.
Brahmins never really held power - they are some of the most powerless in India while OBCs are the most powerful - you'd know this if you were in India. OBCs are also those who rioted with muslims the most - because, for instance, muslims have beef while yadavs kept the cattle - clash of interest, you see.
.
There is no savarna fascism that i have ever witnessed. Only communist media uses such jargon to describe the awareness that hindus are getting of late - as if it is a bad thing.
