This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
This professor has nothing to do with knowledge, he is most toxic casteist personality in current era. I condemn this personality and want to ask government to ban him as soon as possible.
Casta is foreign concept and has nothing to do with how Portuguese and Spanish practice racist Christianity. Europe had slavery and serfdom, in Russia till 1850s. Till we examine the real situation, Islam and Christianity pushing Hindus to the edge of genocide, we cannot understand how imported nonsense like casta has been used to oppress Hindus. Hindu India certainly had classes and heriditary classes as well. Still, compared the slave states of Arabia or Genocidal Jesus States of West, India never had the evils of slavery and serfdom, till Islam and later Christians came. In the 1700s the English and the Moslems made and an agreement that slavery should be allowed to continue but no Muslims or Christians could be kept as slaves. This forced slaves to convert, I guess they didn’t use a sword.
Author puts himself in a bind in trying to justify himself through ‘constitutionalism’, his argument is this –
Dalits celebrate Constitution because it is the document which gives them hope at the same time he acknowledges that it has not worked since inequality increased dis-proportionally & thus dalits celebrate constitutional contradiction because they don’t really want to try anything else & even things which may actually change their material conditions and are happy with only with the illusionary emancipatory promises of constitution.
Privileged or others want rethink because they are religious chauvianists & privileged bigots.
Thank you dear author for saying the obvious, that never-the-less needs to be said. Annihilation of caste is the revolution India needs but never managed to have in spite of two thousand years of sporadic effort. till this becomes a reality (along with equal rights for women), we can not truly progress and no other permanent evolution or revolution is possible towards a better future.

The USA constitution has been revised thirty odd times in 200 Plus years. How many revision of the Indian constitution? Few thousands????

Well, Why would Dalits not celebrate when everything is guaranteed to them from cradle to grave?
