Unless and until we unite to give DALITS and tsunami victims the top priority in our development efforts, we will be
taken in poor light.
The movie hero VIVEK OBEROI did a lot in TN for tsunami victims
but was prevented from proceeding by the christians and liquor
barons. Those others like Bollywood khans via their DVDs/CDs are grabbing lot of Hindu money are using it for nefarious activities most probably. Rule of law being weak, social order is getting more threatened and this is what we
saw when a woman jumped off the train fearing a bag had bomb in it.
It is often the women and children that affected the most.
As horrific as the uncovered plight of the rape victims of the church abuse is, it is equally horrendous to see all such rapes lying buried in India, the widening gap between the rich and poor; between the exploited and the exploiting. It is to easy to be upset and enraged over how the larger civil society is being
subjugated as if it is still under colonial rule."
Indians are generally too embarrassed to reveal if their minors are subject to sexual abuse; their minors might be more embarrassed.
On the matter of neo-colonialism of the Congress party, I am surprised why there is no International outcry. Both rule by majority - i.e. DEMOCRACY -
and secularism - non-interference by church and mosques - have been routinely and systematically violated. That temples don't generally interfere in politics is never mentioned. Hence, it is to the credit of the native culture that they are inherently SECULAR. In addition, they, as tax-payers, have been paying for the HAJ pilgrims too, year after year. What kind of SECULARISM is this? While the temples are governed by the Goverment, the mosques and the churches are not. While the Christian schools get tax-payers' money, they often violate the laws in forcing non-christian children to pay excessive fees and not teaching the local vernacular languages but teaching the Bible instead. Hence, you see violation at every turn.
Who is to bell the cat? That society oppressed for hundreds of years continues to be oppressed unlike the Iraqi Shiites and Kurds who have gotten some degree of autonomy/self-rule now after minority brutality that continues in India. Do write to all your friends to put an end to this atrocity.
To anyone who says, India is a Democracy, I'd say, "You couldn't be more wrong" and I'd add there is no rule of law either, there being no CHILD PROTECTION LAW tough enough to safeguard the minors from church abuse that is rampant the world over.
I found in Latin America, many Pakistanis and Chinese who I was told are illegal migrants w/o any papers in places like Equador, parts of Central America.
I wondered why I did not find any Indians, expecting the
so-called persecuted folks like the muslims and christians. There
were none.
I am tempted to conclude that it is the Hindus and Dalits that
are persecuted and not any of the others that claim persecution.
One other thing, I found was that an outfit called "Ekal
Vidyalaya" is serving the Indian tribals and the ones in Gujarat
are not presumably served, but the muslims and christians are.
Again, I tend to draw this inference that these latter segments
grab what is due to the really disadvantaged, namely the tribals
and the Dalits.
One larger question remains unanswered, why are the magazines
like 'Manushi', not taking up the cause of the weaker sections -
like the women and girls raped in church abuse cases, islamist
assault cases...etc?
I think the impact on Harijans and Tribals is far more critical than one can ever imagine. Consider the impact in terms of the filling of job positions in
Government. If there are X number of openings and the crypto tribals - read Christians - of the North east take all the X openings, what is left for the tribals of Gujarat? Nothing, nada zilch, sadly.
In fact, the news analysis shows that the tribals involved in the post-Godhra's situation - citizen warriors - read first responders - were the poorest of the poor
tribals who have been exploited for many centuries by moslty *muslim* money lenders who charge back breaking rates.
I find one can safely conclude that unlike the spiritual souls most Hindus are, minority fascists of India want endlessly more and more. Worse still, they are becoming ever more powerful, with excessive rights and devastating political clout, as we all saw in Goa, Bihar..etc in spite of appeal to the communal President who got enthroned by the so-called communalists.
I can't imagine life getting any better soon given the situation on the
ground in India right now. It is a luxury for only the minority, as Dr Ambedkar gauged several decades ago.
To conclude, the situation in India is getting grave and critical
and nothing is being done about it. BOYCOTT FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE!
