Re: How High caste hindus treat low caste Dalits in India
Cheetah Uncle,
Who gives a F what the dictionary meaning of SECT and CASTE are and what the differences are? As far as I'm concerned they both serve the same purpose, of dividing our society. Both of them have created animosity and hatred between different sects/castes hence are bad enough.
I don't want to waste my time throwing textual references at you or anyone else with what's written in what ancient book and what is technically correct and endorsed. What matters most is the way it is practiced today. Muslim sects hate and fight with each other just like Hindu castes.
Instead of feeling good about ourselves by pointing out faults in the other system lets try to fix our own system first.
