Mochi and Sunar
by Dipak Kumar on Dec 01, 2007 02:52 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Even after banning the film or removing the sentence etc. etc., Still, Mochi can't be Sunar.
So, why these people are shouting.

Technically you are correct Deepak, Mochi can never be Sunar, but are we comparing castes or are we comparing professions here ?

As far as I think, in todays world even Mochi business as well as Sunar business, are in hands of rich folks. ( Like Liberty, Lakhana, BATA, LaBella and several other thousands ) so looks in we were comparing castes here.

People are shouting in UP, probably people might have felt something... did this ever occur to you ??

Please think it over

Profession? Ridiculous. Caste is by birth. Go and check the manusmriti.

Don't abuse Manusmriti without ever reading it. Ambedkar himself formed his entire case of Dalits being equal to other castes based on Manusmriti.But i do not expect any cirscumspection from you. People such as you are the Dalit fundamentalists.
