George Menezes would like to take Chief Justice K.G.Balakrishnan for a walk- to show him how the Catholic Church in India also practises caste:

Let us walk into the villages, where dalits live together no matter what religion they belong to.

Let us enter the hut of the Chamar family. Ramesh Chamar and his parents are Hindus. His brother John befriended some Salesian priests, studied in the Don Bosco School and became a Catholic.

The whole family continues to be discriminated against in humiliating ways, by the upper castes Hindus, as well as by upper caste Catholics in the village.

But there is discrimination, not just from the community, but from the Government. Ramesh gets all the benefits reserved for Hindu Dalits. John gets none. Ironically, the upper-class Catholics in the area would never consider marrying their daughter to him.
