Casteism is a contribution of upper castes.
by Rajesh Toppo on Dec 02, 2007 10:21 AM

The agitation over casteist remarks in a song is rightly brought up by Dalit activists in India. The upper castes have created this derogatory language and dictionary during the centuries of their domination of society. Downtrodden communities and women were always refered to in derogatory terms and the same was used by the song writer in "Aja Nachale". The entertainment industry should avoid all derogatory remarks against Dalits and Tribals in whatever "CRAP" they produce to earn a living.
