A Message OF VHP To Hindus: Say Oh Hindus: "We eat cow dung, and we drink cow urine. We lick and revere Shiva's penus. We worship 330 Million gods, including rapists. Oh Sikhs! Oh Muslims! Oh Christians! leave your monotheism, and join our pagan penus puppetery. Appease our Majority.''

JebaShaker, Boston, USA. I very much appreciate the work done by 1 out of the millions of dalit, speaking for the rest. I have spoke to the founder of this site & I hope to help him in his cause soon. Looks like people from all over the world are visiting this site. Eventhough we try to point out the helplessness of Dalits, I hope we dont forget that we must be United as Christians if not at least as Indians if not at least to Humanity. Visitors, Please do not post anything offensive on this site. Remember true Religion is "not to hurt/offend humans in anyway". God Bless & Jai Hind.

Liane 12/Apr/2002:21:50:48 I just want to congraulate the dalits for how they have struggled and survived. They are an insperation to every one in the world and beyond. I think that if people as low as them in the caste system can make it every one can. You just have to have the willpower and the mind and the determination to do it. Again I say congradulations.

Hello, I'm an aryan north Indian. I'm a Christian and I think that the Hindus have been really unfair to the Dalits. Ofcourse, if the Dalits change their religion from Hinduism to Christanity, it would really help, however, the more effective solution to their problem would be to send Dalits to college and make them stand for themselves. Education is power and no weapon can beat it. Any comments ? -Rahul, rahul223@yahoo.com

From : anjali kamat <akam47@yahoo.com> I chanced upon your website dalitchristians.com while doing some internet research for a story I am writing. I am a student at the Asian College of Journalism in Chennai and am writing a story on the discrimination faced by Dalit Christians within the Church and their struggle against discrimination from caste Hindu society. I would also like some information about the struggle for reservations as Dalit Christians. If you can give me some information in the way of articles I can read and people I can contact in and around Chennai, I would be most grateful. Thank you for your assistance, Sincerely, Anjali Kamat.

Sukhjinder Takhar <sukhjinder.takhar@bbc.co.uk> Dear Sir/Madam , My name is Sukhjinder (Sukhi for short) and I work in the Asian Programmes Unit of BBC Television. As our name implies we specialise in making documentaries about South Asian issues and people. In the past we've examined issues as diverse as caste, the Kumbh Mela, Indian politics and the destruction of the natural environment - obviously we're used to dealing with extremely sensitive issues and understand the necessary obstacles that have to be negotiated in such circumstances. The topic of jogini and dalit women( as featured in your no 2, 2001 issue) is such an issue, involving the incendiary topics of caste, religion and tradition mixed with mores in rural communities that I'm sure have been in place for generations. We are very interested in highlighting the issue but before we proceed we have to be absolutely certain of what access we can gain in the villages and temples and what we can and can't film. Could I trouble you to ask if you have any contacts on this issue? I'm really keen to pursue this issue because apart from anything else on a purely personal level I was sickened by the plight of the dalit jogini ladies. Thank you for your valuable time.

If you can, Pls. publish an article on the Caste politics of few uppercaste catholic priests in Vijayawada catholic diocese of Andhra Pradesh,India. I can provide you the information and references. A few rich, uppercaste priests are working tirelessly to misguide the Vatican and prevent a qualified and highly educated Dalit priest from being appointed as the bishop of Vijayawada. 97% of Catholics are Dalits in Vijayawada diocese. They are silently bearing the oppression of these uppercaste priests, just to avoid confrontation fearing that it may create unnecessary attention among the Hindus and Protestant churches and damage the image of the church. These priests are particularly focussing in the chracater assasination of those few highly qualified dalit priests from the diocese, whom they doubt are potential candiatates for the post of the Bishop of the Diocese of Vijayawada.

Well done on broadcasting the plight of the Dalits. It is a good start to encourage and focus attention from around the world. Dalit people must be allowed to improve their lives. Eduacation must be made a priority, especially the education of women and girls of this group. Three thousand years of oppression is inexcusable. It is just unimaginable that in the 21st Century, that India would carry on depriving one group of its population of their basic human rights! A group that is equivalent to half the population of the United states.

Well its always great to say I am an Indian, however at bottom of my heart caste discrimination makes me feel guilty to say I am an Indian. Its so unfortunate to have dirty politicians/land lords who are main cause for this practice. I strongly believe we should raise this issue, and show it to international community, then only we can see some action at our home front. Please let me know what kind of help I could do to support this site are activists. Good luck and May God treat every one same. From bottom of ny heart. You can reach me at krish_iit@yahoo.com

Hello sir, Your site is very informative, people here commenting on reservation. But the actual facts regarding implementation of this reservation policy nobody knows. I just now finished my MD from all india institute of medical sciences, new delhi. In this institute till today, there is NO RESERVATION for FACULTY POSTS inspite of LAWS and regulations. Out of 700 faculty members there are only 10-15 are from DALITS. Till today NO ONE has become HOD's inspite of seniority and merit. The junior faculty (NON DALITS) have become HOD's. In PGI (Post Graduate institute chandigarh) DALIT who got 10th rank was denied a MD pediatrics seat in general merit, the felllow who got 11th rank had given this seat. That DALIT student didn't have money to go for court, it happened in 1999-dec. It's a shame ful mattter for all of us. nayaka23@indiatimes.com

Dear sir, Very good site. Education should be given first priority for DALITS. We should fight against so called Major communities in India. I am from karnataka, here till today no one from DALITs have reached higher posts due to the suppression from lingayats and Vokkaligas. Even these people have conducting seminars against DALITs in the name of AHIMSA. The participants in these seminars are Balagangadara natha swamy (Guru of Vokkaliga's and his followers). I think it's time to give a fitting reply to these people.

Narayan Bhat <NBhat@symmetricom.com> Hi I was just going thru your web site and found it to be very interesting. Up to ceratin extent I agree with you that the caste system has created a lot of social problems in India and also has harmed our national interests. But at the same time I would like to mention that not all of so called upper caste people are as bad as you guys have portrayed on your web site. The caste system that's being practiced today in our country is not the one which was being practiced during the vedic times. In Bhagvadgita Krsihna says that one's "varna" is based on one's born qualities and nature of work. As per this verse a brahmana's son (as per vedic definition a brahmana is the one who has realized the "Brahman or Supreme") can not be a brahmin just by his birth unless he shows the prescribed brahminical qualities(this verse from Bhagvadgita gives the definition for a brahmana:"Peacefulness, self-control, austerity, purity, tolerance, honesty, wisdom, knowledge, and religiousness--these are the qualities by which the brahmanas work"-Bhagvadgita 18-42 ). Do you think that today's so called brahmins have all the above mentioned qualities in them? Moreover during the vedic period any body could have become a brahmana just by following the above principles. The great sage Valmiki is an example for this. The varnshrma system itself has been misused by some people of so called uppper castes for their own selfish purposes. The most misunderstood scripture of Hinduism is the Manu Smarti. Some upper caste people have been using this as a tool to support their atrocities against dalits. But if you read it carefully you can see that the life of a brahmana was not that easy as he is supposed to beg for his livelyhood and at the same time he too had to undergo the same treatment as others for ceratin sins. I would like to quote a few verses from Manu samhita here: "A twice-born man who has (intentionally) drunk, through delusion of mind, (the spirituous liquor called) Sura shall drink that liquor boiling-hot; when his body has been completely scalded by that, he is freed from his guilt" (Manu Smarti-11.91). "He who has violated his Guru's bed, shall, after confessing his crime, extend himself on a heated iron bed, or embrace the red-hot image (of a woman); by dying he becomes pure"(M.S-11.104). If today's so called brahmins were to take the above verses seriously then they would also hate Hinduism as much as Dalits do. These kind of verses for different sins are also mentioned in Bible as well as in Quran and for that sake nobody is hating Christianity or Islam. A lot of good things are mentioned in Vedas and Upnishads but the problem arises only when you misinterpret it. As you know that the most of our vedas and other scriptures have been misinterpreted by different people over a period of time and this has lead to a lot of chaos in our society. The recent archeological findings at Harappan site and also the discovery of dried up Saraswati river bed will hopefuly make our scholars to rethink about our own history(which was devised by british who created wedge between our people) as it gives them a better picture of how these people lived during the ancient times. I know that untouchability hurts a lot as I have seen it in my own eyes and I strongly oppose this practice. This problem could have been solved by a series of mass education programs arranged by the Religious heads in all parts of India but unfortunatley these religious heads have their self interests and they are no better than any politician. Converting to any other religion may only elevate your material status but not the spiritual status. To elevate yourself to the spritual platform you need not be in any partcicular religion as all religions talk about the same thing that is love for all. Krishna says in Bhagvadgita: " sarva-dharman parityajya mam ekam saranam vraja aham tvam sarva-papebhyo moksayisyami ma sucah" that means: "Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear". If we follow Krishna's/Jesus's Teachings without any hatred for others we can all become true Brahmana's and in that case there won't be any castes anymore. I hope you understand my point. With Regards Narayan Bhat

Sreedhar Amere Subbarao" <recomb@hotmail.com> Yes, with lot of discrimination Dalits are paralyzed many ways. "The problem is forever" and stay forever as we see the beautiful description and many stories. Changing religion: I am all confused about this phenomenon...if changing religion is for the betterment of dalit social status, why lot of upper caste people are changing their religion? though they had their respect etc. in the society. Why weren't they prosecuted and humiliated the way Dalits are humiliated. In my opinion changing religion is purely personal and even the Bible says, how one can be Saved? Believe in Jesus Christ and accept your sins.. That’s all...you will be saved. According to the message I have read earlier in this page, Dalit Christian too had problems and in fact where the problems are magnified. I strongly feel that religion is not a problem in India but the Caste system. We have seen even at churches Dalits are ill treated, so what should be done, one should look for the eradication of the caste system not the religion. Being a secular country, India has it's own advantages and social freedom choosing their way of life/religion; and unfortunately it has no way to escape from the caste. The basic problem I feel is education.. educating every one not just Dalits.. by providing reservation etc etc., educate every one with moral values.. and remove these tags from every name(s) to which he/she belongs? I see no where in the world a column of caste/religion in any of the applications but it happens in India. why do Government wants to know to which caste he/she belongs to? how does it matter, assess them on their talent. May be who knows which caste person would have done all these cleaning workers job if they do not have this tag, may be its purely done by all humans depends on their financial status.Good to know there are people to analyze the problem but feeling sick to know that nothing can be done for this system? I appreciate for the solution not to expand the problem. Being in a foreign land I was questioned many times by several Europeans, Americans etc etc to which caste I belong to..How does it matter to them I do not understand. Ridiculous...they are more concerned these days as the publicity increases but not the solution... as there is no improvement. I see that Dalits are educated and getting good jobs well off still their tags carry their tales and pulls their moral down... every where Sreedhar Amere Subbarao" <recomb@hotmail.com>

I hope that your Christmas was blessed with much peace and joy. I saw the file of photographs and text of the mission. It was the best gift that I have received during this season, for it was the gift of life, of love, and of connection. Seeing this wondrous gift that you have composed has filled my heart in a way that it has never been filled. Over the years, I have studied several religions in the manner of tutorials by their leaders. Roman Catholicism, Judaism, and Buddhism all strive to alleviate the suffering of our brothers and sisters. I think that we are made to experience compassion and to share it with others, in all the forms that are made available to us. Mary Beth, US

Nice site. It is always good to struggle and fight for a cause or against any injustice meted to either a person or group of persons. We are all christian and we shouldnot try to divide it. If any one tries to split the christian community into Dalit christians, tribal christians, upper caste christians and alike others, it dangerous one. The priests and bishops have to ensure that there is no discrimation within the christian community. We are all united in christ and let us pray that we grow in christ as one tree with various branches. With best wishes Dr.Vincent Barla, Delhi

Hello, I am Rev. Nelson BaBU. Thank you For running for this page. Indeed it is an issue that needs our attention. Dalit christians are worst affected by both casteism and minoritism. Since dalit christians cannot claim to be a political entity politicians of all sors of political parties simply ignore this issue. Even legal battle against such descrimination has not yeilded any result. Therefore it is high time for dalit christians to draw the attentions of the politicians. thanks.

While surfing the net I chanced upon your site and read some of the articles with great interest. I will continue to visit the site and get better information and understanding about the struggles and triumphs of Dalits. Keep up the good work. We shall overcome! Kevi Meru Arcadia, California.

NO MOSTI , I have no idea who will be reading this message, but I must say that many indian and pakistan friends have told me that I have ancestoral connections with descendants of africans in India . I didn't beleive it because what I have been taught in western history was totally misinformation. Yet "I count it all joy" to know that GOD ,our Father and creator always shows us there is no lie in him. Just by the known facts that you are there shows that his word is all Truth . I sure would like to communicate with one of my Dalit brothers and sisters on a regular chat. My interests is agope love , reparations according to the U. N. articles [crimes against humanity] , freedom in spiritual- and temperal earthly terms. I am also looking for someone of european ancestors [protestant] ,and an Indian [protestant] ,or, and an american I can also chat with and trade documents with ,who have the same views and interests as I do .

laxman singh <flaxman12@yahoo.com> To : bchinnappan@hotmail.com CC : devasagayaraj@hotmail.com Date : Fri, 7 Feb 2003 15:08:37 -0800 (PST) Respected sir, jai bhim , I am a radical dalit student from Delhi. I am very sad that our dalit Christians are facing casteism within Christianity. This is defaming the mission of Lord Jesus. Above all, the christians in india are facing threat from hindu nazi forces. Do you think if their is any scope of dalit+muslim+christian unity in India( not a B.S.P. TYPE) What can I do for my dalit sisters and brothers? I am thinking to start a awareness campaign among all dalits. Could you suggest me please!
