Biggest caste survey: One in four Indians admit to practising untouchability

[Omega007]

@Omega007 I call spade a Spade, no point in burying head in sand. I know to some extent what is written in article is correct and mostly exaggerated.

However, I don't believe and will never believe in the part which I highlighted. My Religion doesn't teach such things. Visit any Gurdwara anywhere in the World. No one is going to ask you about your religion or discriminate with you. The only thing you'll be asked to is to cover your head Cloak. That is it.

I did searched on this before posting the TOI Article. Instead of only doing Google Search, read various sources reporting it and it's not Sikh's who are Discrminating.

I saw that one though.But what I was saying that this particular gurudwara at Burnabi was being touted as a 'dalit gurudwara' not just by the source you posted,but others too.That's all I was trying to convey here.may be the so called dalits had thought that they needed some place of their own,who knows.Personally,I feel all this caste creed religion etc etc are just absolute bs,I've never been to a temple for once not withstanding the fact that I belong to the so called 'Brahmin' caste.

Yes, he is referring to that Gurudwara. Moreover, the Article which I posted earlier, the Culprits are playing victims card.

Plz untouchability is not defined in survey ..... Survey also did not give any hint to what type of untouchability still is being practised by our people though its shameful to have even one percent in actual sense of untouchability.....

But no shame on the Muslims who won't allow a non-Muslim to enter Mecca?

Irrelevant and no business for non-Muslims in Mecca. Only a caste practicing hindu such as yourself could try and create a correlation.

You don't know what is Hinduism. Then how do you say that these are thousand years practice? Hinduism is thousands of years old. Dowry practise is not in Hinduism.

Regarding caste - All people do the same work and earn the same in your place? Besides, caste is an English word coined to suit their taste and perception - that is when they first encountered it. The real term is Jati. Google that and let me know if you have questions.

After this we will discuss about 'alleged' 'bigotry' in your faith.

To us everyone who earns same can sit together have marriage no discrimination among them. Anyone who has Muslim name will get same opportunities. But its not possible for Hindus. Same wealthy Bhattacharya and Dash can sit together maybe. But no marriage. A Bhattacharya will always prefer a Bhattacharya no Dash. We adopted whichever dont contradicts Islam.
Some marriage rituals, giving women more rights, language, literature, peacefulness which were performed here thousands years we have taken it. To me only multiple god is Hinduism. So we arent influenced by that.
Meaning by bigotry practices I mean any kinds of bad and malpractices, which is mainly done by low iq hindus.
Doing dharna to Sadhus, urine drinking and giving animal more privilege over human.

Indian Express said one in four indians admits to practice untouchability....

Action on grounds are different, you don't need to go that far to realize the truth....

Last month Sai Ram might have escaped serious harm. But he died in great pain last week, a casualty of a bitter, barely reported conflict that still claims many lives every year.

Ram, 15, was a goatherd in a village in the poor eastern Indian state of Bihar. He was a Dalit, from the lowest rung of the caste hierarchy that still defines the lives, and sometimes the deaths, of millions of people in the emerging economic power.

His alleged killer, currently being held by local police, is from a higher landowning caste. He took offense when one of the teenager’s goats strayed on to his paddy field and grazed on his crops. Ram was overpowered by the landowner and a group of other men. He was badly beaten.

Then petrol was poured over him and lit, Ram’s father, Jiut Ram, said. “He was crying for help, then went silent,” the 50-year-old daily wage labourer told the Guardian.

Earlier this month, five Dalit women were allegedly gang-raped by upper-caste men in central Bihar’s Bhojpur district. In September, hundreds of Dalit families were forced from their homes in two other districts of Bihar after a man from the community tried to contest a local election against higher caste candidates.

Several political, social and economic factors usually lie behind such upsurges in caste-related violence. One reason for Bihar’s recent incidents may be the appointment in May of Jitan Ram Manjhi, a Dalit, as the chief minister of the state.

1 in 4 is probably a low estimate as well.

This is an article from Time:

India: 'Untouchable' Dalits Still Forced to Collect Human Waste

Not shocked that they teach their children such things. I wonder what the kids were doing at the dalits home if they never meant to enter though.

Neither do I give hoot about cast, Religion, etc though I do regularly visit Gurdwaras, Mosques, Temples and Churches.

These people don't follow the teachings of Sikh Gurus - Sikhism. They follow teachings of Ravidas. They are not Sikhs, but they call their place of Worship as Dalit Gurudwara. I ain't have problem with it, they can call it whatever they want to. The problem is there bigotry which that article was supporting.That was my only point.
