I do agree to your sentiments about the caste system in India and I am very much there by your side but let anyone not get carried away by the western media.Can you site any western medium ever appreciating the strides India has made with very few exceptions.You sat in a country where the whites invaded the land,killed hundreds of aborigines(Diseases apart),took away their children and created a colonial society.Today they may have apologised because that is the easiest thing to do.India is a country with diverse cultures,traditions and religions.In this melting pot we had and still find the traces of untouchability but largely she has galloped in to civility in a short span of 60 years.What is Australian history? Whatever you eulogise is steeped in blood,invasion and exploitation that to a gene pool created by convicts.The India bashers should first check their cupboards first for the skeletons before accusing.We,Indians are proud for the fact that despite the differences and anomalies we have freedom to breathe and not like China.She dictates who should reproduce and when in her country.Dear David Dak,if you are an Indian at least you should have shot a letter to SBS for not airing a balanced view.If you are an Australian white,I have nothing more to add because you could never be reformed.
