Vikram is convinced that the criticism of caste by liberals, who often deny belief in religion, will not cut much ice in making a case for uplifting Dalits. Only the reform by upper caste Hindus will.
Linked by bhupinder. Join Blogbharti facebook group.Can we reinterpret our understanding of caste enough to eliminate birth-based hierarchy? I think we can, though it will take many passionate people to finish what Gandhi, Phule, Narayana Guru, Suraj Bhan and other reformist Hindus started. If anti-casteism is sanctioned by dharma, if we end the apologies for what is rotten in the system, then things will change for the better, and this can only be an internal effort.
