The country is in a state of terror and shock right now A "19-year-old" dalit girl was allegedly raped and murdered brutally by four men in Hathras district in northern India.,there are many cases much brutal much inhuman which don't even reach the doors of police stations, and there are many neglected by our "celeb obsessed"media. Let me tell you what is going to happen now First our parents will stop us from stepping out of our houses Everyone will mourn for a few days maybe take out rallies or candle marches But after a few weeks... Everyone will forget....forget about the atrocities forget about everything that happend forget about the poor girl her poor soul everything will go back to normal media will start it's celeb TRP news,the temporary feminism which rose in people will incline..... And then another case maybe dreadfuler than this will occur the same cycle will keep going on and on and on and on Women would keep getting raped This country will stay the same as it was nothing will change or is ever going to change.....I hardly have any hopes left or any expections with the police or the government so dear girls lock yourselves you've to protect yourselves because no is ever going to we aren't safe at night,in the day,in our society well not even in our homes..... People let thier lust control them...No laws will be made,no one is going to teach men about conset,viticm blaming is never going to stop and no one is going to tell them that women aren't made to satisfy you These lustful demons aren't afraid of a deadly virus we can't expect them to fear the law.... Protect yourselves! I just feel like crying....how could people be so monstrous so cruel.... She is in a better place now....
What follows are facts. This is not up for debate. If you are "*against casteism*", then you must accept these as they are. No matter how uncomfortable they make you, or challenge your belief systems. If you are truly against caste-based discrimination of all sorts, you need to imbibe and understand these points. Only then can we hope for progress. 1. The caste system is one of the vilest social evils in India, if not the worst. 2. There is no pride or shame in being born into any caste. Any pride associated with belonging to X caste needs to go. It has no place in modern India. 3. Casteism still permeates our society at all levels, and if you don't feel so you are one of the privileged ones. 4. Complaining about the "privileges" (like reservation) of the lower castes is utter bullshit. It undermines the oppression faced by the lower castes over generations and entirely misses the point. 5. Your "support" for ending casteism means nothing if it is conditional on the lower castes "behaving" in certain "appropriate" ways. I see too many people saying they only "approve" of/"support" those people from the lower castes who don't avail of reservation. Your support must be based on the *principle* that casteism is wrong. This needs to be absorbed and understood if one truly wishes to be supportive of ending casteism. Please don't call criticism of Brahmanical supremacy "caste-based discrimination". Please don't talk about Brahmins being responsible for the safekeeping of our traditions and knowledge. If you really care, you need to recognize the urgent truth of casteism being well and alive in our society today. Edit: copying some of my comments. I am not particularly arguing in favor of reservation. I am not qualified enough to actually discuss the demerits of reservation at length. But maybe this can help - reservations will no longer be needed when the hiring/admissions process in any job/academic institution, through their "measure of merit" tests, ORGANICALLY, without quotas, admit people of different castes/other backgrounds roughly in proportion to their corresponding proportion in the population. The simple fact is that today, without reservation, those proportions would be abysmally skewed in favor of the upper castes. You can have gripes with reservation. But try not to bring up the demerits of reservation every time caste-based discrimination is discussed.
