Re: Misunderstandings - VAD Threads
So you want me to read something that looks like a 'bit notice' and be educated about India, where the real outcry of those ancient 'untouchables' to you is all 'made by Westerners to India'! What a pity! I have read numerous instances of untouchability happening not to just ordinary people but also very, very exalted saints, from Jnaneshwar to Sri Thiruppanazhwar, that too, way, way back before British rule of India. Jnaneshwar's parents were told to commit 'suicide' by jumping in water for their children to be accepted into Brahminhood by local Brahmins which they did, but the 3 children, including sant Jnaneshwar weren't even accepted into Brahminhood, even out of mercy by these very same Brahmanas!
And none of the Brahmins of olden times (except Sri Subrahmanya Bharathi) played a major role in abolishing this evil! If they are all truly heavenly, it (untouchability) shouldn't have happened in the first place. Please don't brush aside the tears of numerous people of the olden times!
And, I am indeed reading all the 10th and 12th std results from public examinations every year - contrary to the 'numbers' you seem to proclaim, only non-Brahmins on the majority are scoring high these days! Really, really brilliant scores! An applause to them!
