KESHVANPALAYAM, India (AFP) - India’s untouchables, reeling from the tsunami disaster, are being forced out of relief camps by higher caste survivors and being denied aid supplies…
*sickening!!
India sure is one messed up nation, first they try and stop US aid to sri lanka and then this!!!*
hmmm...maybe this is why they denied aid in the first place! ok that is far-fetched, but considering the fact that India wants to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council, they should at least try to eliminate the caste system....grow up: this is not the time for discrimination.
do you have any common sense how you can control 260 million dalits
140 million muslims and fight kashmirismiltants ,rebels in northeast at the same time
fight pakistan?
no I have very special sense, and not some common sense.. but thank you for missing the point.
I am not talking about controlling dalits or fighting wars, lets step back a minute shell we and just examine this particular situation at hand. Does this not strike you as being wrong. Aid to people affected by a natural disaster denied due to their caste?
"Aid to people affected by a natural disaster denied due to their caste?"
abe akkal laga aid was NOT denied by govt. jo bhi aid baanta gaya use higher caste ke bandon ne chheen liya jo bhi dalit log they unko nahin mila. bas kaam khatam paisa hajam ab zyada dimagh mat laga aur so ja :D
who is running these relief camps, and if there are no govt relief camps then why are’nt there any, if these are govt relief camps then how dare one person force another out? if these are private relief camps then govt allows people to do whatever they want and there is no rule of the law?
“jo bhi aid banta gaya ussay upper caste waalon nay cheen liya” …and the government agenciesd and authorities is so impotent that it could not even try to have a reasonable distribution.
u refuse to think, do you? lemme give u an action replay of what happened there: govt. helicopters come and drop food packets everyone picks their share and leaves on the way higher caste ke kuttey unke haath se chheen lete hain aur bhaag jate hain.. when govt. sets up camp and tries to help people higher caste guys (being richer) bribe officials and get stuff meant for poor… same thing wud happen in pak too except that u need to replace higher caste with muslim (mostly punjabi sunni) and lower caste with hindu (mostly bhangi type laborers).. ab samajh mein ayi baat??
dude if i were u i would cut down on “you refuse to think” and “abay aqal lagga”
okay so thank you for xplaining that the govt did not do a proper job, and maybe underestimated the amount of ignorance and caste bullsit that exists.
Okay so govt leaves food packets and the “kuttay of upper castes” take their food. Now, that this is known, should the govt do something to stop this? and if so..what is being done
now as far as people bribing corrupt officers, that happens everywhere in the world, but now that this is known, should govt not step in and save its citizens from its other citizens
same thing may theoretically happen in Pakistan, but lets address that in a thread about issues in pakistan, there are plenty of those.
So does the govt need to do more in these camps, and now that it knows the plight of these dalits, should they not do something about it?
