Why do India's Dalits hate Gandhi?

[Punjabee_in_USA]

@happyheart

I am really sorry but you totally have no idea what you are talking about Punjabee jee
you are a great guy i am sure and wondeful company but you totally do not have any notion
what you are talking about and i cannot do anything about that nor can you

u are from USA? yet u are totally and totally unaware of the fact what affirmative action meant for hundreds and thousands of African Americans?

Ask the value of water to people in desert.
Ask the value of affirmative action to people in USA who are discriminated and were slaves and seggregated till 1970

Bro u totally are out of touch with what i am writing and with what you are saying its totally unsync with each other.

Affirmative Action in the USA, and reservation in India are two totally different things. Lets not compare them and instead stick to talking about India here.

I understand that you do not have a clue about India, but zxcvb is an Indian. Unless he has himself benefited from reservation and is supporting it for selfish reasons, I don’t see how any sane Indian can support reservation.

There are better & more effective way to remedy the “wrongs” done to dalits - reservation just does not work.

P.S. Since you brought up Affirmative Action, I am sure you know that it is not without its drawbacks & critics

Affirmative Action Around the World: An Empirical Study is a 2004 nonfiction work by economist Thomas Sowell.
Already known as a critic of affirmative action or race-based hiring and promotion, Sowell, himself African-American, analyzes the specific effects of such policies on India, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and Nigeria, four countries with longer multiethnic histories and then compares them with the recent history of the United States in this regard.
A sample of his thinking about the danger of perpetual racial preferences is this passage from p. 7: “People differ - and have for centuries… Any “temporary” policy whose duration is defined by the goal of achieving something that has never been achieved before, anywhere in the world, could more fittingly be characterized as eternal.”
According to Dutch Martin’s review of this book:
Among the common consequences of preference policies in the five-country sample are:

• They encourage non-preferred groups to redesignate themselves as members of preferred groups (1) to take advantage of group preference policies;
• They tend to benefit primarily the most fortunate among the preferred group (e.g. Black millionaires), often to the detriment of the least fortunate among the non-preferred groups (e.g., poor Whites);
• They reduce the incentives of both the preferred and non-preferred to perform at their best — the former because doing so is unnecessary and the latter because it can prove futile — thereby resulting in net losses for society as a whole. [1]](Affirmative Action Around the World - Wikipedia)

Another review of the book asserts that Sowell’s selection of countries for comparison to the United States, and his use of “empirical” evidence, was in fact skewed to reach an anti-affirmative-action conclusion.
The same review charges that Sowell simply repackaged an earlier book of his, Preferential Policies: An International Perspective (1990), and “fobbed it off” as new material under a different title.[2]](Affirmative Action Around the World - Wikipedia)
