| A part of the wall in Uthapuram village in Madurai district may have been finally demolished this week after nearly 20 years of dividing the upper castes from the Dalits, but untouchability is rampant in Tamil Nadu | ||

Here is a news item posted by Rashmun with whom I have had several intense discussions. Here is a news item that questions Hinduism and its traditions. Just for your clarity, I think this is a sensible post. Let me explain. This is not one of crime report where facts can be disputed. (However, I am not vouching for the authenticity of the report or facts, but that is another discussion).
In this news item, the issue is about a practice of untouchability that pervaded hindu thinking for 100s of years and and perverted daily activities. The writer quotes a source, and few statistics to prove her point. This is seen still seen in rural parts of the nation(I do not think TN or AP are some how more vulnerable to it than other states) and people indulge in it without even realizing it as it is the culture of the land. If you can do something about it or support people who are trying to do something about it, it would be of some value to discuss.
Of course, you can always choose to be an arm chair critic who contributes nothing to real change.
>> the issue is about a practice of untouchability that pervaded hindu thinking for 100s of years and and perverted daily activities....This is seen still seen in rural parts of the nation ...and people indulge in it without even realizing it as it is the culture of the land.
As far as I can make out, this is the desire of 800 individuals to reside in a gated community, no different from the aspirations of their wealthy compatriots living in "NRI enclaves" on the outskirts of big cities in India and indeed, across the world, being thwarted by a socialist government that is taking away their right for seclusion and isolation from the rest of the village. As with any exclusive club, admission is only through wealth or by birth. In this particular case, it is the latter.
Since it is well established on CH that casteist discrimination in India is no longer a social problem but the work of individual bad apples, your attempt to view this routine clubby set-up as some sort of a Hindu problem shows that your only agenda is to show Hinduism in a bad light and that you are anti-Hindu. Moreover, your support for the demolition of the wall shows your nihilistic tendencies and lack of respect for individual rights, no different from the Maoists.
In conclusion, the only logical conclusion from all your statements is that you are just another anti-Hindu Maoist agent (like all those other commies in the media) out to subvert and destroy our society.
your incoherent rant just explains why you cannot understand simple things in life. Your marxist mumbo jumbo about gated communities shows you have serious lack of common sense.
I do not have to demonstate anything to you or anybody.
After this attempt, I will not waste my time to discuss with you logically. When you cannot make rational arguments, you spout absolute nonsense to cover up your even more incredibly stupid arguments.
It is clear you are determined to just go about your anti Hinduism crusade under one pretex or other and we will continue to confront each other. Only difference will be you are an exposed utterly idiotic anti Hindu propagandist.
>> I do not have to demonstate anything to you or anybody
But alas, you have already demonstrated your anti-Hindu agenda by imputing casteist motives to a banal conflict between the haves and the have-nots. Furthermore, you demonstrated your Maoist beliefs by advocating destruction of a wall that the haves had erected around their gated community.
>> After this attempt, I will not waste my time to discuss with you logically
Right, go ahead and turn a necessity into a virtue. AFAIK, I've never known you to discuss anything logically - your posts are just long-winded exercises in name-calling. Seems to me that as soon as you get a taste of your own medicine, you turn tail and run away - another well-known Maoist guerialla tactic.
>> and we will continue to confront each other.
Isn't this a contradiction of your earlier promise? Actually, I don't mind confronting silly fellas like you, but it is your long-winded rambles that drive me to distraction. So if you keep up with those 500 word tirades, I'll have to regretfully continue passing up on reading them.
Btw, which part of AP did you say you are from? Telangana? That figures.
??????
Your incoherent ramblings have now reached the stage of copying. You have emulated rashmun in childishness.
If you think people from telangana cannot think, it shows when you run out of ideas you just find a stereotype and abuse the stereotype.
Your actions speak for themselves.
Your words, Comrade, all yours. I really have no idea about the thinking prowess of the people of Telangana - to me, the word is synonymous with the Naxalite problem, my only reason for mentioning it here (in the context of you being a Maoist from AP).
But looking at your inability to grasp a simple geographical association, maybe you do have a point. Congratulations, you've got something right after a very long time.
You make bombastic statements and when you are asked to stand up behind your foul mouth, you run again. You did that again.
If we have a problem in telangana, we take care of those extrimists and terrorists. Both YSR and CBN have been successful in that regard. We call an extremist an extrimist and deal with them unlike your method of finding execuses for Islamic religious fundmental extremistsand cover them.
If you accept that Proletariat dictatorship is NOT the best form of government, may be we can drop Comrade tag. Otherwise change your handle or stick around at your own peril.
Is that what the voices in your head tell you, comrade? I'm really curious to know what are these "bombastic* statements" I made. Perhaps you could ask those voices on my behalf?
>> If you accept that Proletariat dictatorship is NOT the best form of government, may be we can drop Comrade tag.
I must again bring to your attention that you're terribly muddled up. Remember, it is you who is the Maoist and therefore a believer in proletariat dictatorship, not me. So I don't carry the Comrade tag anyway, but you do. Comrade Unkil.
*I hope you realize that by using the word "bombastic" you've revealed your true vintage. Henceforth, you shall be called Maoist Unkil aka Comrade Unkil.
