Shining India: Dalit not allowed to Cycle in the "upper caste" areas.

[Yeti]

He is showing that it only doesnt happen in India.

And the OP is Pakistani and should think twice before posting such stuff, when it clearly happens to his nation.

In fact Yati, I believe that BBC article, deserves its own thread.

I agree it does and Pakistan is the last country on earth to point fingers when they would not let dalits even live in muslim camps during the flood

 

[King123]

So in ur country, a hindu is inferiror to a muslim?????

They use "Baniya" to Hindus as abusive words. But they don't know 4 richest Baniyas are worth more than Pakistan GDP, 2 Mittal and 2 Ambani

International aid agencies in India have been horrified to find, even amid the suffering caused by the tsunami, some survivors being refused access to basic relief because they are considered "Untouchables".

Accounts have emerged of members of the former Untouchable castes not being allowed to drink clean water from a tank provided by Unicef because other castes believed it would pollute the water in the tank. Dalits, as the former Untouchables are known today, have been thrown out of government relief camps by the other survivors staying there.

Even as people around the world have sent aid donations to tsunami survivors, members of higher castes have prevented the Dalits from using basic relief supplies, and the Indian government has been accused of not doing enough to prevent this injustice.

Dalit children were not even allowed to use the basic open latrines at relief camps, according to Janyala Srinivas, a reporter for The Indian Express. Dalits at one camp who asked for some of the food supplies intended for everyone that the fishermen were hoarding were thrown out and had to spend the rest of the night in the road.

64 years is too short a time to bring about reform in a 'tradition' which date back thousands of years. Even after 150 years after slavery was abolished in US, there are still cases of racism poping up every now and then and US is 250+ year old democracy.
