This list is not meant for such matters and if I write it is only for two reasons: 1. Jyothish concerns humanity 2. The list is a bit quiet now. I have been too long away from India and do not know who Dalits are. I cannot find any practical way of helping to stop persecution. Today I live in a country which became famous for its persecution of the Jews. Jews were persecuted all over Europe till about 300 years ago. After that they were generally tolerated but treated as second class citizens, then anti-jewish feelings werte excited again. Most people blame Hitler for this. BS! He was only an opportunist, had no personal feelings against Jews, in fact in his early days he had been "kept alive" by a jewish patron and friends. He became Anti-Jew because that was necessary to gain power. The Catholic church and its inquisition kept up the persecution. Martin Luther "reformed" the church, but gave Hitler complete instructions as to how to treat Jews!!!.... "Take away their property, put them in stalls and force them to work like oxen. asses and horses. Feed them enough to give them strength to work, but no more!" Today the majority of Germans are at least aware of this sin, in spite of Neo-nazism raising its head, there is much protest against this. The media frequently show the terrible injustice and cruelty, even in programmes for children. it is not enough, but the nation is awakening. The capital of the US, washington, is a "black" city. But the persecution of blacks and other minorities is not dead, the nation has never really protested against it, is NOT awakening. Even abraham Lincoln did not truly take up the slavery question. he did so only because the British parliament offered help ONLY on condition that he would abolish slavery. He only accepted that all human beings were equal in the eyes of God, BUT NOT IN THE EYES OF MEN! The reason is not actually "racism". The US honours achievement, but punishes incapacity. Louis Armstrong, Leontyne Price, any number of boxers, baseball stars .... have been honoured. But the nation is blind to the fact that the possibilities for the minorities is terribly restricted at every step, that those who get through are "super personalities". Equality of chance is a dream that has never come true. White bootleggers produced presidents, but dumb whites are trash! They have to wait till Bateman comes home, they have to wait for Godot, Cannery Row remains what it is, human and despairing, trying to laugh at its own misery! .... People strive, but the State has failed! And people do not force the State to do its job. The principle is: You get what you deserve, according to what you have achieved, irrespective of whether you were responsible or not for your circumstances. We`ll give you a loan if you have capital, but not a cent if you are broke!...... Karmaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! India is no different. The "holy" land is full of holes. Dalits - I take it that they are the so-called "untouchables", later referred to as "harijans" - are persecuted. But "Brahmins" are also persecuted in the Madras (Chennai) State. As a boy - Brahmin - I was frequently insulted. Every wall was covered with anti-brahmin slogans, "Brahmin get out!" was the most frequent - the actual word used for Brahmin was "Papan", a derogatory form, like "bosch" or "Kraut" for German, "frog" for french. .... and in the north, people spoke of all Madrasis as "black Madrasi bastards!" .... I left India, to be "homeless" in a foreign land, rather in my own! The majorit always finds a scapegoat to persecute. Man has formed societies, but never understood how to keep them together. There is only one way: to find a way of providing enough bread for all, so that people live without the so-called "anxiety about existence", so that there is a measure of contentment. A happy population does not resort to aggression. There have been such communities in the Pacific -appropriate! - but these too have been corrupted. To get back to dalits: Contact ALL Maths and compel the TOP GURUS to declare Dalits as good Hindus, give them ALL rights as Hindus, to visit temples, to have marriages with priests etc. etc. Contact ALL dalits and tell them to openly give up all demon-worship,if any, and to worship God as such, by whatever name they give Him! Mobilize the people in India! Shake them out of centuries of the "I am holier than thou" attitude. That is what Swami Vivekananda taught!
