<But it has survived for thousands of years, so it must have something working for it. >
Any thing that survives for thousand of years does not provide legitimacy. Islamic militancy has survived for 1400 years does it have any room in modern society today? Inequality of woman exists for thousands of years in Islamic societies does it mean that something good is within the system that ensures woman status as second class citizen? The problem of cultures and people getting caught up with tradition is something that we need to break.
Sati, witchcraft inequality at eye-popping scale and Star TV India are the reasons of this decay that continues, 30 million sleep shelter less, is that what you call a great democracy that works or system that works? When Mr. Vajapayee team was in Lahore the only big query they had was where are the people sleeping on roads like Calcutta and Bombay they thought they have been brought to Lahore Fort through VIP areas, I told them that the inner city is the poorest district where we are right now, I did report it that they were just shocked, Gujarat is a manifestation of religious extremism at its worst, 5000 lives loss in no time, that is just the beginning of the tip of the iceberg, women being forced to drink human faeces to clear her body from witchcraft and 150 million of people denied equality a achoot or a dalit or the untouchable son cannot imagine marrying a Barhamin, for me I will rather marry my daughter to dalit than to Barhamin who has no virtue as he believes in natural division of humanity through a system that is dying. Barhamin for me is dalit and Dalit a Barhamin for equality of humanity is enshrined on his face. I not only condemn Islamic extremism, I feel equally strong about this division of humanity among classes. People are born free don't chain them is what I think is right. If Arun Gera from USA cannot do it who else would? break the chains!! and rise up to free mankind from this unseen kind of terror that is 100 deaths a day for a living being. That untouchable has feelings too.
Two reasons why India was invaded and why mass conversion took place amongst receptive people number 1 was social inequity and number 2 was decision of the outcasts to support the invaders, why has North Indian majority lived as slave for thousand years until 1947? The reason will of rebellion was crushed by the weight of division of mankind to upper class and lower class, any society that permits this insult to humanity has no license to continue and you shall see that present implosion will continue big if eye popping poverty and kidney selling poor are not given equality and rights enshrined in the covenants that we respect, forget past this is injustice of highest order prevalent in name of 1000 years of practice. |
