Hi Ike,


Will you now join me in condemning like I condemn Pakistani forces for violence in Kashmir that Indian forces may stop this violence and give Kashmiris under unanimous UN resolution of 1948 pending in cold storage right of self determination? Will you join me to raise voice for 350,000,000 untouchables who are considered untouchables as human beings?


this is somewhat tough to take. Reality is distorted to a great extent. From where I come from (southern india), we do dine out/with/at "untouchables" (forgive me for using the word... because we don't call them that they are untouchables) house. We do invite/attend functions at our houses. Situation is lot better than the media reports. Untouchables as a class is actually a privileged class IMHO. However, I am not going to brag about the injustice done to them in the past. Reservation system has actually leveled the playing field for them and it is trying to make amends for the past mistake. Educating the people against the problem is the best way to tackle the problem. Untouchability is the problem of ignorance and not one of hatred.



Will someone else join me to say that this violence in Palestine has to stop?



Violence against any innocent has to stop.



The only way to love our own country or creed is to see our mistakes, realise them and still love our country and try to make amends?



Very well said.


Later,

Suresh
