Referring to the rape case of a 19 year old Dalit girl by the 4 high caste youth and torturing her, broke her backbone and even cut her tongue, this is one of the worst incidents that the Caste people committed on the poor Dalit girl from UP recently. Besides, the rapists with their political clout manged to cremate her body in the dead of the night without even getting permission of her elders. Why this was done at night time when usualy the cremations are done during the day time?. This indicates without any doubt that the Government and its machinery are involved at least clandestinely to support the caste rapists. See how in India people are treated by their elected Government. The value of human beings is become zero, the dogs and cats of ministers carry better respects but not the ordinary human being. I think we in Goa are not far from that point unless in the coming election we dethrone BJP.
I don’t understand the logic of the High Caste people in India, many of them do not even touch the low caste people and some of them not even allow Dalits’ shadow to fall on them but when the matter of Sex is concerned those shameless casteists immediately ignore their casteisms. At the time of indulging in Sex with Dalit there is no caste superiority of theirs and caste inferiority of the Dalits? See the logic of these Caste Bastards. Because of Caste system India is too much devided, even in Goa this caste system is too rigidly followed by too many people. Even in our Churches and Chapels caste system was practiced when it is against Christian doctrine to practice discriminations. Our Goan society suffered too much because of caste system that we followed rigidly. I think because of this many of our girls elope with Ghannttis who know how to handle our girls.
I remember one hard core casteist incident in Madras witnessed by Dr. Ambedkar who was wating for the Bus where one Shoe Polish boy was approached by one Brahmin who wanted to polish his Chappals but refusing to talk directly to that Harizan Shoe Polish boy asking him how much he will charge for polishing his Chappals because communicating directly with harijan boy was like a sin for him. Hnece, he saw one stone in front of the Harijan boy and started talking thru this stone to that boy thus: “Stone God, ask the Polish Boy how much he will charge me to polish my Chappals?” The Harijan boy replied in a similar manner saying “Stone God, tell Brahmin Sahib I will charge him one Anna.
When such filhy incidents are taking place in India, how can this country come up? Our countrymen will go on fighting only among themselves for equality thus weakening the fabrics of our unity.
