Re: Katy Perry Shmaty Perry
Its not the refusal its the stated element of hypocrisy. He is stating my factual statement that Dalits are treated like trash in Hinduism is akin to Katy Perry’s video of burning the pendant. They are not the same.
A relevant example would have been that Katy Perry stated that the Quran allows for spousal abuse, which it does. Both are statements based in fact and what religion has defined as acceptable. Just like the caste system has a basis in Hinduism.
Now if I had said it was okay to set on fire a hindu symbol or preached some element of hinduism being idiotic then yes that would indeed be hypocrisy on my part.
However opening ignoring parts of the faith that is abhorrent and saying people who mention it as insulting the faith is indeed sticking your head in the sand.
