untouchability
by siva kumar on Sep 24, 2007 12:59 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

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

That is why we got our own hindu gods and we have nothing to do with your way of Hinduism.

Let us not loose focus. What karunanidhi has spoken is very bad and he should not hurt sentiments of followers of RAM, many of them also belong so called minority community. Karunanidhi is a CM of a state and he should understand the responsibility of that chair. Shame on him to use such disgraceful words for the GOD, He should apologise for it publicly and people like u should not support on such low level utterings
