Discrimination
Could human understand what "harmony" means? Is it possible to cultivate the essence of peace.Let not social,political nor educationals settings separate us. Every human is equal-A noble concept that i was thought since a very young age. Note that it may sound dystopic to certain set of mind who call themself "intellects",but let's just be nice.Discrimination in Detail (Source:Thekaekara,M.M ,2005)-INDIA
In India, Brahmins, who are 3.5 per cent of the population, hold 78 per cent of the judicial positions and approximately 50 per cent of parliamentary seats.
Mass rapes often form part of the tactics of intimidation used by upper-caste gangs against lower castes. The Home Ministry reported that, between 2000 and 2001, there was a 16.5 per cent increase in reported rape cases.
Each year, inter-caste violence claims hundreds of lives; in 2001 it was especially pronounced in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh.
In India, among the millions of bonded labourers (estimates range widely between 20 to 65 million for 2001), the Government found 85 per cent to be Dalits or from lower castes. These included a large number of children.
Dalits and adivasis (indigenous peoples) form the largest proportion of those who drop out of school. In rural areas, between the ages of five and nine, 36.1 per cent of Dalit boys and 48.4 per cent of Dalit girls dropped out.
About 75 per cent of Dalit communities live below the poverty line.
Two-thirds of the Dalit population is illiterate.
Half are landless agricultural labourers.
Only 7 per cent have access to safe drinking water, electricity and toilets.
Discrimination is a social manifest of power-Its like saying an ancient spiritual verse " The Mind Gets Full with Knowledge, the heart becomes empty". It is a well known fact that Human are drawn to this "looking down" attitude due to several triggers-Power, Skin Colour and Hierchacy. But we fail to realize that GOD itself is LOVE. Opression, Slavery and even know nuclear wars are forms of serious discrimination faced by us. Yet, it is the very same people who did such inane acts tend to indulge themselves in religious affairs-A hope that GOD would shower blessings upon them. My point here-Do you really think so? I shall leave that as an unanswered query
