Rohith Vemula, a young Dalit(hate using the word here) research scholar and student activist of the University of Hyderabad, would certainly not have wanted to die. No one with dreams does, after all. Yet he killed himself! He was in fact killed by the phantom limb of caste system on which this pretentious democratic credentials are superimposed.
This gutter called caste system! Is it all worth it? Worth the life of a brilliant young mind?
When I read this news I was at the same time fighting against this within a community which considers itself morally superior to others, yet follows this sham called caste system. Yes, the christian community, one which I am part of for a pretty long time, shamefully still follows caste system.
Why do I talk only about this community? I know them well enough and I'm pretty sure that the holy book which this community adheres to absolutely does not support this
Sadly, almost everybody I talk to, know that its origins should have nothing to do with the so called christian principles which they claim to follow; Yet, in the inner most hearts, they desire their children marry within the same caste! They want reservation for their children and the grand children!
Dear christian community, Casteism is plain wrong. The Holy Bible does not prescribe to marrying your children within the same caste. The christian religion does not support anybody belonging to any caste. The church should not be based on casteism, and if they are it is a sham (For want of a harsher word). Please respect every single human being, as a soul wanting to live a happy life. In the name of a stupid, baseless, discrimination called casteism, if you continue to divide people, woe unto you! You do not deserve to be called the followers of the Jehovah God. Period.
PS: Sorry for the harsh rant; I vent out anger on blogs you see!

Yes it's absolutely correct. But at the same time the so called deprived and underprivileged community should also restraints from taking undue (with authority) advantage in all matters. Do those guys need another 500 years? Or indefinite years to come out. God knows.
You're absolutely right!! Just recently I was reminded of another way we Christians practice exclusivity... Our songs and sermons are peppered with jargon that only those raised in evangelicchristian homes would understand. I remember a Hindu classmate who was horrified when we sang "Are you washed in the blood". I wish it was worded "have you been forgiven" or something relatable!!
