untouchability
by siva kumar on Sep 24, 2007 12:59 PM

Untouchability, Child Marriage, Sati, no-entry to temple for lower castes, slavery and sexual abuse of lower caste ladies in the disguise of servant maids, denying education to lower castes, denying housing and land reforms to lower castes, usurping all the jobs in the organised sector, usurping all the seats in the educational institutes, asking the other castes to do their traditional jobs - meaning - a barber's son to be a barber etc, if a non-brahmin goes to Kanchipuram Sankara mutt - he is treated as pariah, in some temples males are asked to remove shirts just to identify whether they have "sacred threads" to identify brahmins and non-brahmins ....and so on and on ......

These are the some of the activities done by the so called upper caste Hindus (read Brahmins and nairs) before Periyar, Anna and Karunanidhi showed them their place. Now they are shouting using MK's remark on Ram as a disguise .....shout shout ....

This message is being reported for ABUSE repeatedly....Guess the level of tolerance has gone down considerably
