I think you havent visited any village recently.
Is 2007-2008 recent enough for you? That is for Jharkhand, not Bihar. These village visits started with assignments in rural areas during seven years with Tata Steel at the start of my professional life, nearly forty years ago.
Go and have a visit in bihar you can see there many upper cast people still lives in a kacha houses but those so called lower cast having paka house. I dont need to mention other benifits to them through reservations and many govt schemes. And yet you are complaning
This is your caste prejudice showing through.
Even pointing out that rural life is still unfairly tilted against the Dalit means that I am complaining, not making an observation. To another idiot, it means that I am a Naxal supporter.
If you start off with the attitude that whoever is not of the same opinion as you is against you, and that whatever observation of fact does not tally with your view of how things should be is either a concocted view, or due to ignorance, why bother to discuss things at all?
Now tell me why should they get benfits from govt when financialy they are better than us. Just because our ansestor did all the wrong things against them. How does it make me culpit. Sir What kind of logic is that. Ok now tell me should we attack muslims because there ansestors where attackers and masscared large hindu population in past.
A bad analogy.
First, so-called lower castes living in pukka houses while so-called upper castes live in kutcha houses should not matter to you. What should matter is equal opportunity to education and to chances of getting gainful employment. Beyond that, those who have more money will live in better houses than those who have less. Do you realize that your resentment at this role reversal is apparent?
Second, the constitution makers never intended reservations to be a long-term feature. It was the half-hearted and grudging implementation of these measures, and the failure to come out with parallel measures, that compelled deleted extensions.
Third, nobody has suggested killing people because they are upper caste. Nobody but terrorists, who have to be dealt with as terrorists: with arms when they make armed attacks, with the full force of the law when they are captured, with every inducement to surrender when they are still at large, and with long-term and sustained reforms.
Fourth, bringing in the communal theme in this discussion is peculiar. Is that always uppermost in your mind?
Nonsense, do you have any idea how many Dalits yadavs and Koiri, kurmis have killed? Go to purnea, khagaria, naugachia, kosi belt to see it. Ahirs and Koiri kurmis are not forwards castes, they are backward castes and they are killing, oppressing the dalits. But the naxalites don't have the balls to go fight the the ahirs and koiri kurmis cause they have the numbers, are a big vote bank, so they get the support from the government.
Who cares about Bhumihars? If the government won't help us, we ll defend our land our property from naxalites and kill them like we have or die fighting.
North Bihar violence is almost over it will escalate after this killing now. Eastern Bihar Bhumihars are suffering at the hand of naxalite scum in Munger and Bhagalpur district. Rajputs are a very small group in Bihar.
I stand corrected.
Caste hostility to the Dalit is alive and well.
I was betrayed by a certain naïveté in vote-bank vocabulary.
