Referring to Mr Jatindra Saha’s letter dates 6th Aug, I would agree that the violence against Dalits is certainly wrong and the most despicable act of social intolerance but recent violence shown against Dalits in Una, Gujarat is entirely of a different character sad it seems that the attackers have themselves allowed the video of the entire indecent to be done leisurely and fully, and be published by the media, and none of the attackers is found to be afraid of being caught guilty of beating, and published by the media, as if they are hired to do the act; as sushi they seem ‘Fake’ cow protector, and to have nothing to do with cows; we should be wary of blaming Hindus for their particular incident.
In practice since Mahatma Gandhi’s message of considering Dalits as ‘Harijan’ -human being of god- Hindus have stopped discriminating against them since independence but the Congress government and some other state governments supported by other religions have allowed social inequality by making the roots of the caste system firm wither to establish their political voting block permanently or to take advantage of faith conversion.
BJP is to crackdown of such ‘fake’ cow protectors and they simply believe in development with the support of all the people without caste or creed.
